Calvary Chapel Rialto Christian School was founded to serve the children of the San Bernardino County area with loving teachers and a staff committed to delivering quality education and the Word of God to each student in our care.
The school was officially opened in September of 2005 as a way for the parents of Calvary Chapel Rialto to have an alternative for educating their children.
Public schools, of course, did not have a foundation in Christ and, in fact, were becoming more and more hostile to Christians in general.
Homeschooling, while an acceptable alternative, was not for everyone. Thus, the leadership at CCR began the process of putting together a plan for a preschool and an elementary school, complete with before and after-school daycare.
That goal was realized in September of 2005 when Calvary Chapel Rialto Christian School opened its doors to begin the new school year with 14 students.
Today, school enrollment has grown to 185 students, preschool through 10th grade.
We are in the process of opening up 11th grade for the 2024/2025 school year! Each year after, we will add additional grades.
It has been an amazing time watching the Lord develop and build a school that will not only educate His children but also honor His name in the process.
We look forward to what He has planned for us in the future!.
