Calvary Chapel Christian School

This school is so involved in the development of the whole child. Many families receive scholarships so their students can attend. Only a few parents are involved in the school leaving most of the work up to the school staff. The staff at this school works long hours and really care about our kids. No school is perfect. I read some of the comments probably written by disengaged parents and students. The students and parents who are involved and really care about the school love it. I am so glad my children go to school here.

My family moved to Las Vegas a year ago. We put our kids in one of the best public schools (rated 9/10) in the area. It was a nightmare. Praise God we found Calvary Chapel. My kids are enjoying school and life again. It is a true christian family atmosphere. There is huge parent involovement and feeling of community at the school. My kids are amazed how NICE everyone is. The teachers are SO loving to the students and their love for God shows.

I am a former student who went to the school from the 6th grade to the begining of high school. Calvary is a great school for grammer school and middle school levels. However for high school this school may not be a very good school, I left and acceled in athletics that Calvary did not offer such as wrestling and a great football program, not to mention my school had a great academics record. Depending on the zoning you're in Calvary may be a better alternative school for your kids. If you care for your kids, do the research on the schools in your area. If you live in a not so great area, I would definately recomend Calvary.

As you can see from the other reviews, this used to be one of the best schools in Las Vegas. The school is now run by a new administration (almost 2 years). Fewer college prep classes are offered and parents are charged extra money for everything, including each minute high school students are on campus after school. Our child was there for almost 10 years but the change to a more secular, showy atmosphere was so unacceptable to us, we reluctantly found a different Christian school. The church also has a new Pastor, Derek Neider, and his school age children do not attend the school.

As a mother of four children, I can tell the difference in the quality of education my children have received. Two of my children went to public school and two went to Calvary. If I had to do it all over again all of my children would have been educated at Calvary. This school has not raised tuition in three years because they understand the economc impact facing its families. The staff works hard to make improvements based on feedback from the families here. I have never seen such dedication from a group of people. The people who are complaining are not involved and uninformed which is probably why they didn't leave their names. That behavior is what gives Christians a bad name. The school's test scores improve over all every year and if you don't believe me just ask to see them.

No security, no discipline, below grade level academics. This school offers nothing but a low price which ultimately matches their level of education.

This is the worst school experience I have ever had. Horrible students, horrible staff, the whole school is an absolute joke. Please, never send your child here.

Calvary Chapel is an outstanding mix of a challenging curriculem with well-qualified teachers and in a Christian environment. No need to worry about bullying. Only making great friends and learning. Accomplishments are rewarded so the children strive to get straight A's and read to their point level. It is a perfect environement to learn in. Calvary is like a large family with a highly qualified staff willing to address any and all concerns promptly. They help the kids to spread their wings and tackle their work on their own.
