Founded in 1976, CRCS offers a complete, Christian, traditional education from three year old preschool through eighth grade.
CRCS is a ministry of Calvary Road Baptist Church and shares its spacious facilities on six and one half acres of property, two miles east of Springfield Mall in the Franconia area.
The purpose of Calvary Road Christian School is to complement the ministry of Calvary Road Baptist Church through providing students a distinctly Christian education that encourages a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, the development of Christian character, excellence in academics, and service to others.
Our faculty and staff are highly dedicated Christians who are excited to have the opportunity to fulfill the school's mission through teaching and molding the lives of each student under their care.
In addition to planning and implementing a quality educational program, each of our faculty are expected to be a Christian role model so that students have the opportunity to not just "learn the facts" but see each teacher's faith in action.

We love this school! The academics are wonderful, the staff is great and my personal favorite is the immense amount of communication. My only complaint (by nature we always find one right) is that science was more STEM involved. Praying for more successful years with CRCS.
