We absolutely love CCS! We''ve had the privilege of watching our daughter grow through so many academic seasons, from first grade through now 8th grade, all while being surrounded by incredible love, encouragement, and support. As she prepares to enter high school this fall, we can confidently say that choosing CCS has been one of the best investments we''ve ever made for our family.There is something truly special about being part of a school that intentionally helps students grow into who God designed them to be. CCS has not only challenged her academically, but has also strengthened her foundation in Christ and helped shape her character.We''re excited to see her continue to flourish in high school through all the amazing opportunities available, including honors and AP classes, competitive athletics, and student clubs. We are so thankful to be part of such a great school community!

Calvary School is a place my family calls home. Two graduates started in pre-school and one left to go. Through the years it has been a sacrifice my family has been willing to make to stay enrolled. Teachers and staff have a heart for the students and the academics and extracurriculars are above average. In a confusing world, these students are taught through a biblical worldview. Grateful for Calvary Schools!!

Calvary is wonderful. All three of our kids are thriving in the preschool and elementary school. It truly feels like a family here. The teachers are phenomenal and the curriculum is both Biblical and top-notch. Support services are also in place for kiddos who need extra help.

We came from public school and wanted our kids to be able to develop their understanding and free expression of God. Although we know any institution is made up of humans and will have its strengths and weaknesses we've been quite satisfied with our overall experience at Calvary. I especially appreciate the way the staff pours into the kids to show them the love and care of Christ. I give it 4 stars-

I loved my time at Calvary. It was an incredible place to grow and learn; I felt supported and cared for by the staff; I grew in my faith and knowledge in a way that prepared me to excel in college; I was heavily involved in extra-curricular - all this led to my having one of the best school, especially high school, experiences!
