"Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6).
The program at Calvary Christian School is designed to help parents fulfill this command of God.
Calvary Christian School is a ministry of Calvary Bible Church and is the extension of the Christian home.
We believe there is a Biblical perspective for every academic discipline.
We believe that true knowledge can be gained only as each discipline is taught and learned from the perspective of the principles of God's Word.
