Mu Alpha Theta is a national math honor society. Students who have completed at least two years of high school mathematics and received an A or B in four semesters are eligible to join. Clubs are CHA are designed to train student leaders. MAO officers organize weekly free tutoring opportunities, plan club meetings, host Pi Week, and decorate secondary bulletin boards. Recently, MAO held its fifteenth annual induction ceremony. During the induction ceremony, Eli Steelman, the vice president, shared a charge with MAO members. Here is an excerpt.

"The foundations of mathematics echo the objective truth of the Lord. God is consistent, unchanging, and trustworthy, and truth ultimately comes from Him. John 14:6 says, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” From the very beginning of Scripture, order is displayed, in the numbered days of creation or the order in which He created all things. God’s precision is also seen in constants such as the speed of light and gravitational force. If even one value within this design were off, the stars wouldn’t shine, the planets wouldn’t orbit… life wouldn’t exist. As Leonhard Euler once said, “For since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise Creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear…”

“Mu Alpha Theta may be an international math honor society, but at Christian Heritage Academy, it is more than just a club. Whether you aspire to become an engineer, architect, accountant, math teacher, or pursue a different calling altogether, it is critical that we recognize how God’s sovereignty can be seen in all areas of life—even in something as simple as 1 + 1. As we move forward, I encourage you all to remember the purpose and mission of our role in Mu Alpha Theta. Let us bring glory and honor to God through how we teach, how we serve, and how diligently we commit ourselves to this club.”

One of CHA’s distinctives is our Principle Approach methodology, which teaches every subject from God’s Word. Each subject is a platform for the gospel. It is indeed—more than math.
