School Overview
Overview
Hollister Montessori School's first opened in September 1998. Currently we offer a three-year Primary classroom, ages 2.5 (potty trained) through the end of the kindergarten year. We strive to offer an excellent Montessori education and our teachers hold Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) certification.
Calvary Christian School is an alternative to the public school system where quality and affordability come in a safe and loving Christian environment.
The school opened its doors in the fall of 1977 with the goal of providing a place where parents can receive assistance in training their children academically, spiritually, and socially so that they will be equipped to serve God, home, church, community, and country.
A major goal of our school program is to help students develop a Christian worldview which includes looking to the Bible as the final authority for all matters of faith (what to believe) and practice (how to act or behave).
K-12 courses are offered in a traditional setting with a strong academic curriculum that is taught from a Christian worldview perspective.
