North College Hill is a tight-knit community. And so is CBA. We're the neighborhood private school where every kid matters.
With a 15:1 student-teacher ratio, your child isn't lost in the crowd. Teachers know every student by name, adjust to their learning pace, and communicate directly with parents. NCH serves 1,400+ students across 4 schools. CBA keeps it personal.
CBA provides a calm, disciplined environment where kids can focus on learning. Our relaxed but respectful culture lets kids be kids while still being held to high standards. It's the kind of school where you know your child is safe every day.
CBA is a Christian school rooted in daily Bible instruction and chapel. Where faith isn't a side subject, it's woven into everything. Our welcoming, relaxed environment focuses on building character, integrity, and a biblical worldview. Many of our families chose CBA because faith and learning go hand in hand.
CBA is at 7645 Winton Road. A quick drive from anywhere in NCH. No highway commute, no complicated drop-off. Your child's school is practically in the neighborhood, with the same community feel you already love about North College Hill.
Every Ohio family qualifies for the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship. No income cap, no district requirement. Here's what CBA actually costs:
Lower-income families pay even less. If your household income is below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, the tuition gap is covered. You'd only pay the registration and textbook fees ($675–$775/year). That's roughly $65/month for private school.
All families can set up a 10-month payment plan. Mrs. Loftis handles all the EdChoice paperwork so you don't have to navigate the process alone.
Schedule a call with Mrs. Loftis. She'll answer your questions about CBA, walk you through EdChoice, and help you get started. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a conversation about what's best for your child.

If you're a parent in North College Hill looking for a better education option, Central Baptist Academy is just minutes away on Winton Road. CBA has served Cincinnati-area families since 1968, providing K-8 students with a safe, structured, faith-based education that puts every child first.
North College Hill City Schools is a small district with about 1,400 students across 4 schools. The district's latest Ohio School Report Card shows math proficiency at just 17% and reading proficiency at 30%. Significantly below state averages of 55% and 60%. At the elementary and middle school level, math proficiency drops as low as 5-14%. These numbers tell a clear story: NCH students are falling behind.
CBA offers what a small public district can't: 15:1 student-teacher ratios, individualized instruction, and direct parent-teacher communication. Your child isn't a number at CBA. Teachers know every student's strengths, challenges, and personality. And they adjust accordingly.
NCH families also value CBA's faith-centered approach. With daily Bible instruction, weekly chapel, and an environment where faith and learning are inseparable, CBA offers a Christian education rooted in character, integrity, and biblical values. In a warm, family-centered atmosphere where every child is known.
The biggest misconception about private school is cost. Thanks to the EdChoice Expansion Scholarship, every Ohio family qualifies. No income cap, no district restriction. The state provides up to $6,166 per year toward K-8 tuition. CBA tuition is $6,466 for K-5 and $6,566 for 6-8, leaving a tuition gap of just $300-$400.
Here's the full picture of annual costs after EdChoice:
Tuition gap after scholarship: $300–$400
Textbook fee: $550 per student
Registration fee: $125 (by April 1) / $175 (by June 1) / $225 (after June 1)
Total annual cost: $975–$1,075 per student. With a 10-month payment plan available, that's as low as $98/month.
Families below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level may qualify for additional EdChoice support that covers the tuition gap entirely. For those families, the annual cost is just the textbook and registration fees. $675–$775 per student, or about $68–$78/month on the payment plan. Free bus transportation is available for students in CPS, Finneytown, Mt. Healthy, and Winton Woods districts. Mrs. Loftis handles all the EdChoice paperwork for you.
