Calvary Chapel Academy was founded in September of 1987 as an education ministry to serve the members of Calvary Chapel of the Finger Lakes (CCFL).
Since then we have expanded it to incorporate families who do not fellowship at CCFL. Currently we have grades K through 8th grade.
Our curriculum is from Bob Jones University Press and God's Word.
We teach from a Biblical worldview. Our desire is for students to develop Christ-like character.
We want to encourage our young people to have hearts to serve God.

I would absolutely recommend this school for any Christian family looking to really get the word of God into their kiddos. This school is amazing, the teachers and pastors really take such good care of the kids. And the academics are absolutely on point, my son is at least a year ahead of where he was in public school. Amazing place for kids!!

I have been very pleased with this school. My son's curriculum is so much more than what you get in public school. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They have also taught him manners. My son opens the door for me now and says, "Ladies first." That is something he would NOT get at public school.
