Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) was founded in September of 1995 as a school primarily for the members of Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia.
The programs at CCA are established to round out the overall academic curriculum.
Some of these programs take place during the school day, while others are considered an after school extension to the curriculum.
We are regularly looking for qualified and capable help at our school.
This includes positions as teachers and substitute teachers, as well as non-teaching support positions.
Interested applicants can pick up an application at the respective school office or download one from the website.

    Springside Chestnut Hill Academy
    Springside Chestnut Hill Academy Photo - Our Lower School students run into our beautiful McCausland building each morning excited to see their teachers and classmates. Our students feel at home here, and they learn how to take risks in our nurturing setting where making mistakes is embraced as part of the learning journey. Lower School students have tremendous resources available to them throughout our campus and in the neighboring Wissahickon woods, providing a variety of activities to hone their developing skills. Our single-sex environments allow children to learn who they are without the pressures of gender stereotypes and foster relationships that last a lifetime. Our faculty understand the enormous potential of these moments and are always on the lookout for ways to build on a student's curiosity and help their passions come alive.
