Exclusive.
Our entire model is designed around the rhythms, demands, and realities of professional sports life. We understand your world is unique—and your child’s education should be just as exceptional, flexible, and forward-moving as your career.
Consistency Creates Results
We understand that Courtside Families can benefit from a flexible school environment that adapts to travel, training, and the unique demands of professional sports. Flexibility is built into our model.
At the same time, we also know that consistent attendance is one of the strongest predictors of academic success. Even with just three-hour school days, our students thrive when they have uninterrupted time with their teacher, building momentum week by week.
That is why CHA provides families with quarterly attendance reports. These reports are designed to give you a clear picture of your child’s learning rhythm, celebrate consistency, and provide support if attendance begins to slip
According to the U.S. Department of Education, missing 10% or more of school days is considered chronic absenteeism and can be a risk to learning. At CHA, we align with this guidance, while keeping flexibility at the heart of what we do:
90%+ attendance = on track
85–89% = at risk → we’ll check in to see how we can support
Below 85% = may require a plan to ensure your child stays on track
Our goal isn’t to limit flexibility. It is to make sure that every student, no matter where in the world their family may be, has the steady support they need to keep learning and growing.

Why does this matter?
According to NWEA norms, a typical second grader or fourth grader taking the MAP Growth test might see a growth of 10-12 RIT points over the course of a full academic year. At CHA, students with strong attendance often exceed this growth in just a few months. This shows that one on one instruction and consistent attendance often surpass this growth in just a few months, learning at an accelerated pace while averaging just three hours of instruction per day!
While we cannot guarantee these results for every student, this is the level of excellence we strive for in supporting each child’s success.
WHat is a RIT Score?
The RIT score (Rasch Unit) is a way to measure a student's academic progress over time. Unlike traditional grades, it doesn’t compare students to their peers or to a set standard for their grade level. Instead, it tracks their individual growth—kind of like a height chart for learning!
Here’s what makes the RIT score unique:
Measures growth over time – No matter where a student starts, we can see their progress.
Consistent scale – A 10-point gain means the same thing whether a student is in 2nd grade or 8th grade.
Personalized learning insights – Helps us understand exactly where a student is thriving and where they may need more support.
