Recent Reviews

Calvary Christian School is a school where the entire program is Christ centered. The children are at least one grade ahead of the public schools in what they are taught. The teachers are caring and go beyond what "the norm" is in teaching the children and caring for the children. Calvary prepared my nephew for the challenges he now faces in public high school. Because of his Christian background from home and Calvary he knows that he can not follow the way of the world.

I have found this place to be just what is needed to help with keeping children focused on the Lord, helping them to understand the Word of God and how to apply His Word to their lives.
