Chatham Charter High School is a charter school in Siler City, North Carolina serving student from kindergarten through high school. The school sits on 39 acres and a 43,000 square foot facility. The education for grades 9–12 is a middle college model; students take core classes as 9th and 10th graders, then take courses through Central Carolina Community College as 11th and 12th graders.
