I sent my oldest there several years ago, and when it was time to send my youngest, I decided to send him somewhere else. The vice principal is unbelievably rude, her attitude is appalling. If you are not in the 'Calvary Clique' then you are an outsider. This school is certainly not what it used to be, nor what the wonderful headmaster intended it to be.

Both my children go to this school and love it. I do too. Excellent academics and great teachers and staff. Would not change for any reason. Biblical teaching is spot on.

Solid spiritual education, but lacking academically. The philosophy is "spiritual excellence, academic proficiency". Both my husband and I went to Ivy League universities and we wanted a strong academic environment for our children. CCA does not offer that, BUT your child will leave with a strong biblical foundation. Since we provide that at home, we put our children in a local public school with a better academic program.

The school is wonderful. Small class sizes. The teachers are always willing to talk to the parents about any concerns or issues. They will go the extra mile to help your child learn. Its not just the teacher that gets involved. It's the principal, asst. principal, counselors, tutors ect. The whole staff. You can see & even feel the love, concern and care that they have for the children. I don't worry about my daughter being safe. I know she is. I Know she is being taught good Christian morals & values. She loves learning about God and our Saviour Jesus.

CCA has provided an excellent education that not only challenges our two sons to be the best they are capable of being, but does so in a way in which they are learning that all of life id to glorify Christ. I am grateful for the emphasis the school places on having a personal relationship with Christ (as opposed to a list of rules).

We are truly blessed to have our two children enrolled at Calvary Christian Academy. The teaching and support staff are second to none. As a special education teacher who works in dozens of schools in Bucks County as a consultant, I know there is not another school/faculty that can hold a candle to this place. My children are in a secure, loving environment where they are growing in their spirituality everyday. The teachers have consistent, positive teaching strategies in place which encourage responsible behavior and cooperation. We are beyond pleased with CCA and our girls will continue there through graduation.

I find this school to be wonderful. The cirriculum follows along through the Bible, The chikdren learn so much, and there are plenty of extra curicular activities for the children.

Calvary is a good choice for parents who are interested in helping their children grow in the Lord, but education wise i would avoid it. I went to Calvary in 2002-2003 it was fun and the kids are nice. However i am a extremly good student and i was not challenged. One of my biggest personality flaws, is when i am not challenged i lose interest and start to hate it. I switched to another public school and was a little bit behind in English and Science classes. I had to work hard to get caught up and i am glad i made up all the work before i went to college!
