School Notes
- Watersprings School, originally known as Calvary Chapel Christian School, was started in the fall of 1997 with the desire to provide the believers at Watersprings Church and the Christian community of Idaho Falls with a Christ-centered school that could disciple the children of believers in the ways of Jesus Christ. With the Lord Jesus Christ as our example and main focus, our desire is to work alongside you, the parents, to provide a nurturing Christ-centered school, address education from a Christian perspective, and allow our students the opportunity to understand themselves and the world around them.
