| Our Mission and Goals for Student Learning |
Calvary Christian Academy, a Preschool and K-12 college preparatory school was founded in 1972 out of a community need for a valuable Christ-centered educational facility that would prepare children for life as Children of God. Much has been accomplished since the school was founded. We look forward to continued growth, with a commitment to excellence in providing quality elementary, middle and senior high school education.
Calvary Christian Academy is a small private school, grounded by the core principals of our faith and by our uniquely personal, constructivist approach to education. We seek to aid in guiding each child to a true perspective of life, the world and the universe, as well as an understanding of their unique places with in it. We strive to foster in our students the moral strength, spiritual insight and academic integrity, with which they may live as responsible citizens and dedicated Christians. We desire that our students come to understand Christ and to begin, build upon, and fortify their personal relationship with Him. Regardless of faith, we insist that our students demonstrate a sincere desire for spiritual growth. We aspire to honor God in our every action as a unified educational community.
