Teachers

At the heart of any successful school is its teachers and administration. At CCS, we are blessed with a group of passionate and godly teachers who are well trained in their craft. The continuing development of our staff is a key component of the educational program at Calvary Christian School. Their love for the students and ability to lead young people "Sharpen their Minds and Transform their Hearts," is what makes our school unique.
