My 4 year old attends the pre-school and I feel so blessed to have found this school. Im reading some of these reviews and am in disbelief. I can only speak for the pre-school and can tell you that i see nothing but great things. It's a wonderful Christian atmosphere and the children are constantly being challenged academically.

Outstanding individual care. Solid support for struggling students. Great music program voice in particular. Not enslaved to sports. But happily supports them.

Calvary Chapel Elementary has been good for my daughter. Her 4th grade teacher has been a big blessing to her and to us. If my daughter needs help, she will stay after school to help her. I love it!

This is a great school! The teachers and staff are flexible and willing to work with the parents. The curriculum is a christian curr. so Gods word is taught in all subjects. the sports and music programs are great, my kids love it. There is a lot of parent involvement and my family is blessed to be part of this school. This is going to be a great year. 'Hold Fast' 2 Timothy 1:13-14

I had 2 children in Calvary. They were not being challenged academically. I pulled them out before it was too late for them academically. My oldest should not have any problem catching up. This child is highly motivated. My younger child, I took out so this child would not get behind. The oldest child is 3 grades ahead and the youngest is a grade ahead ( according to STAR testing). I want them to be prepared for the future. Academically ( home and school)and Spiritual (home and church)

I attended Calvary Chapel Christian Schools of Downey for 10 years and I personally have mixed feelings about the school. Spiritually it is a great place to have your child attend, however, it is sometimes hard to focus on God when teachers and staff are having just as much drama as the students. Academically CCCS use to be above all other schools, but now is behind and not challenging. This allowed me to easily get good grades and is now coming back to bite me as i struggle to get a 3.0 in college when i was a straight A student throughout my Calvary career. Within the Administration many shady things have happened when it comes to hiring and firing. Highly qualified teachers have been let go because of rubbing certain people the wrong way, and under qualified teachers have been hired to replace them. But you be the judge.

With one daughter attending Calvary for her junior and senior year, and one daughter from 3rd to 8th grade, I can say that this is a spiritually safe environment for your children. Our daughter applied herself and earned enough AP exam credits to save her one half year college tuition. Thank you Mr. O! (a great teacher!) But most importantly, her faith is intact. The music program is amazing, led by an amazing woman of God who is working on her doctorate, just one of many great examples to the children.

I've been reading these comments for some time now and i feel that i need to make a comment for all of you that have made negative comments, i have 3 children that have been at calvary all their lives, 2 have now graduated from college and are still serving the lord (praise god) i have one left in calvary and i want you all to know that this school is not a perfect school but what school is, what calvary is without a question is a god fearing school that does not compromise when it comes to the things of god and many parents are not willing to take responsibility for the actions of our children. We are the parents. Calvary has teachers that love the lord, are they perfect no but neither are we, academics are up to par with everyone else just check sat's

Wow!. I am truly in awe of this school. My son started High School this year and I have to say my son loves it. My felt welcome from the first moment he started. The teachers are great and you see how much they love the Lord and how much they care for the students. The student/teacher ratio is great. I love the administration. The ladies are great and they always have a smile and make you feel welcome. This school has a great Christian atmosphere and along with the academics I know my son will be fine.
