The primary mission of Calvary Christian School is to encourage each child to develop a personal relationship with God by accepting the free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
The child will be encouraged to grow in this relationship by experiencing God's abundant love, grace, forgiveness, and power through daily Bible study and practical application of God's word.
It is our desire that each child will allow God to govern his/her entire life based on the trust relationship with Jesus fostered through their experience at Calvary Christian School.
Our second goal is for each child to experience academic success based on his/her own God given ability.
As such, our role is to ignite the spark for each child to become a lifetime learner.
The Bible states that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
As a result, we will also strive to build up each child socially and emotionally in an effort to create an environment that is conducive to learning.
