Overview
Riverbend Academy's goal is to provide K-12 students with the highest quality of classical academic training, with an exceptional fine arts program, and, through it all, with a solidly biblical worldview.
Our Vision for the Ideal Riverbend Graduate: "Our prayer is that, Lord willing, the graduate of Riverbend Academy will contend earnestly for the faith revealed in God's Word, the Bible (Jude 3).
He or she will do so with great integrity of heart and with great skillfulness in thinking and communicating in whatever vocational pursuit and sphere of life the providence of God places him or her.
He or she will have a Christ-centered biblical worldview, genuinely thinking and living biblically." Jason Karr, Headmaster.
The vision of Calvary Christian Academy is to provide a premier pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade education, developing students in spirit, mind and body through excellence in academics, athletics, fine arts and Christian Service in order to impact current and future generations for Jesus Christ. Calvary Christian Academy's mission is to train students to think, live and lead with a Biblical Worldview.
