Our kids love Calvary Christian Academy and we do too! We have really enjoyed watching our children grow academically and spiritually at Calvary.

Calvary Christian Academy is Growing! As a parent and in these uncertain economic times, it means something when our school is continuing to grow. Calvary has consistently met our kid's needs academically, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and socially. Having my kids in a school where strong Biblical standards are taught and upheld makes me feel great. Qualified Christian teachers who love their kids and have high expectations is really important to me. I believe the reason the school is growing is because they are putting Christ first in everything they do. My kids are in elementary and they have excelled academically, but one of the most important things I am seeing is a strong value system being built on the Truth of God's word. Exciting chapel services, daily bible classes, ministry opportunities, community outreach, discipleship in sports, and restoration discipline; they do this well. I know my kids are safe, loved, and appreciated. I would recommend this school to any Christian family who desires to partner with an organization that is going to uphold Biblical standards and excite children to learn. I am a member for life!

This is a great school. Our children (1 Kindergarden-4th now,1 kindergarden-2nd now,1 kindergarden) are all honors/high honors. They use ABEKA & Bob Jones combined to increase the level of learning. Their open door policy for the parents, lunch, chapel, classes, is wondrful. The teachers talk to the parents everyday and if the children need extra help, they make the time to help. The teachers and administration care about the students, our families and eachother.

CCA is a wonderful school. My son started pre-K there and is now in Kindergarten reading and counting money. The staff is great and knows every student by name. Parents are always welcome to attend events at the school as well as coming to chapel on Fridays or eating lunch with your child. Mr. Coon and his staff are just amazing people who are so dedicated to all the students at CCA.

If you are looking for a school that instills daily biblical principals in a small classroom environment than this is the school to go to. My son was having a hard time in the over-populated schools and this school gives him the ability to have one on one help from the teacher and the academics are above and beyond.

Calvary uses the ABEKA program for PreK-3 through 12th grade. This curriculum introduces phonics in the younger grades and has students reading by the end of kindergarten's first sememster. They offer music, Spanish, Art and P.E. for all students. Their teachers are all loving Christians and dedicated to their students well being. The highest teacher to student ratio is low with an average of 15 kids per classroom. There is a lot of parent involvement in the classroom and an open door policy for parents to interact with their child for lunch and chapel every week. Jr. and Senior High offers extracurricular sports and the staff is phenomenal.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
