School History
Overview
Calvary Academy has made a commitment to Christian Education. The mission of our school is to provide our students with maximum spiritual, intellectual, social, and physical development; to provide an atmosphere where the highest gains in knowledge, skills, and wisdom can be attained in serving the Lord; to help students in discerning truth from error; to teach fundamental skills of reading, writing, spelling, mathematics and independent study; and to provide maximum opportunities for students to participate in all phases of their learning.
These objectives are achieved through born again teachers who, through the Holy Spirit's guidance, provide study and personal application of the Bible.
Each teacher aids in the discovery and development of God-given intellectual abilities and stimulates reasoning, academic investigation, creative and critical thinking.
Our desire is to also help our students achieve emotional stability through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and to develop positive attitudes toward situations and people.
Calvin Christian School exists to provide an excellent Christ-centered education from a reformed perspective to children of believers.
Calvin provides a challenging academic experience, a solid Christian foundation, and a nurturing environment that meets your child's needs.
Calvin Christian School trains students to learn and grow academically, spiritually, and socially. Academically, we will challenge and support your child.
We will look for and pay special attention to areas in which your child shows a natural passion or aptitude.
It is our goal that every graduate of CCS will have reached his or her highest potential and have a solid foundation on which to succeed in God's calling on his or her life.
Our goal is to raise up the next generation of Christian women and men by providing the means for each student, as an image-bearer of God, to use his or her abilities for God's glory, the benefit of society, and personal fulfillment.
Calvin Christian School seeks to educate children of parents who believe the Bible and its truths.
