Our two daughters attended Calvary Christian School for Kindergarten because they JUST missed the cutoff for public school. They loved it! We loved it too. The staff is wonderful and our daughters started first grade so far ahead of the other students. Their ability to read and write far surpassed all the other students, thanks to their wonderful teacher!
