Campus Life/Events

Day in the Life of a CCS Student

A day in the life of a child at Calvary Christian School is about the total experience – a positive, loving, learning environment designed to develop students academically, socially, physically and spiritually.

Everyday it is our privilege to be part of God’s plan to educate Christian young people who will go out and positively impact their world for Christ. We strive to create a learning environment in which our students thrive. From our educational environment, to our fine arts program, to our athletic department, it is our goal to develop the whole child. Each child is valued and nurtured.
