Calvary Baptist Academy seeks to glorify God by equipping young people for a lifetime of ministry.
We serve in partnership with parents who desire to bring their children to maturity according to biblical principles.
As a Christian school, you will find our priorities to be first spiritual and then academic.
We consider our goals to be accomplished when our young people demonstrate genuine Christ-likeness in both their character and their service.
We`re thankful to have excellent facilities for training students spiritually, academically, artistically, and physically.
But we think you`ll be even more impressed by our teachers and staff members.
They are dedicated professionals committed to helping students build life-changing relationships with Christ-the key factor to any lasting success.
We hope you`ll take some time to get to know us.
We believe you`ll find CBA to be a great value in quality, conservative, Christian education.
