C.H.TA. is concerned with meeting the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and socio-emotional needs of each student. Methods of instruction are adjusted for individual differences and the various stages of growth development. We recognize that certain conditions exist in every child. When these conditions, such as individual differences, readiness, motivation, purpose, and interest are met, the student can learn. Each student at C.H. Terrell Academy is treated with respect and love. C.H.T.A ’s program is geared to incorporate activities relevant to his or her individual needs.

This unique setting ensures maximum academic growth and guarantees that children of all abilities receive a personalized education.
ESTABLISHED AUGUST 1982 -
C.H. Terrell Academy began as a one-room schoolhouse in Augusta, Georgia, offering students the individualized attention and high-quality education often missing in larger institutions. Guided by innovative educational philosophies, the school’s early years were marked by a dedication to small class sizes and personalized learning.
The academy rapidly grew from its original location within a family home, expanding from three to five classrooms, and eventually relocated to a dedicated site on Milledgeville Road. For over a decade, this location was the heart of the school’s educational activities.
Over the years, the academy evolved, changing its name from Southside Preparatory School to Terrell Visitation Academy and, ultimately, C.H. Terrell Academy. Today, it stands as a respected educational institution in Augusta, having educated thousands of students across the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).
C.H. Terrell Academy has a history of creative initiatives, including the establishment of the James Brown Academy of Musik Pupils (J.A.M.P.), an after-school program that provided unique musical education opportunities. While J.A.M.P. was originally created at C.H. Terrell Academy, it now operates solely under the James Brown Family foundation Inc.,.
C.H. Terrell Academy continues to uphold its founding values, fostering academic excellence and community engagement throughout Augusta and beyond.

LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
When I opened C.H. Terrell Academy in 1982 I dreamed of offering young minds education in the tradition through prayer, academics and community involvement. I knew children needed and desired the challenge of an excellent academic schedule accompanied by a commitment to serve others outside of the classroom in today's society.
The academic programs in our educational village have taught students to think critically as they prepare not only for college but for adulthood. C.H.T.A develops the entire student body to involve in not only academic success, but receive an array of spiritual development opportunities. Fine art programs are a realistic commitment to be socially aware and give back to their communities at all times.
Charles Henry Terrell Academy represents a diverse population, bringing individual talents to our educational village. C.H.T.A is a place to grow--- intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically. I invite you to join us and experience what it is to explore the world and excel with talents and opportunities your child has been given.
We hope your visit to our website will be enjoyable and informative. Please call to make an appointment to visit our campus. C.H. Terrell Academy is a unique opportunity for students throughout the CSRA.

LETTER FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR
Welcome to Charles Henry Terrell Academy! Thank you for reviewing our website. You have taken an important first step in your journey to find the perfect fit for your child's successful educational experience. We feel certain that once you have learned about us, you will want to take part in our educational village.
From the onset of 1982, C.H.T.A has preserved important traditions while creating programs that embrace the future of our students. As we began building on the philosophies of Marva Collins and Booker T. Washington, we moved our campus three times and finally relocated to our present setting. Though there may have been many different configurations of the old C.H. Terrell Academy, one quality has never changed --- academic excellence. Our students become active learners --- they are curious --they think --- they question. I am proud to say that the best way to distinguish the old C.H. Terrell Academy students is by their strong passion for learning to become productive citizens of today's society.
C.H.T.A provides numerous academic opportunities and a varied curriculum from early childhood through high school. Our location, facility and fine art programs all contribute to our well-rounded and rich academic village. We have always made a commitment to embracing the future by continually modifying our strategic thinking and planning. We know that it is critically important to maintain a strong academic village. I invite you to contact us to schedule an appointment. We will be delighted to welcome you to our Educational Village.
