The Calvary Christian High School philosophy rests on the belief that all
truth is God’s truth, and the Bible is the only inspired and infallible
authoritative Word of God that contains that truth. Therefore, the Bible
must be foundational in all areas of a curriculum that is designed to
enable pupils to develop to their full potential spiritually, mentally,
socially, physically, and emotionally.
The historic Christian view of life as presented in the Bible is central
to the focus of Calvary Christian High School. Since God created and sustains
everything through His Son, Jesus Christ, the universe and humanity are
dynamically related to God and exist to glorify Him. Man, being a sinner
by nature and choice, cannot glorify or know God apart from accepting God’s
free gift of salvation through His Son. Man is recreated in God’s
image and restored to a position of true knowledge, righteousness and holiness
through faith in Jesus Christ.
A quality educational program must enable students to prepare for success
in college, or other postsecondary programs. Graduates must also be equipped
to succeed in the world of work and in building strong Christian homes.
Therefore, curriculum that includes honors and dual-credit college classes
with an emphasis on
technology is essential. A well-rounded education includes ample
opportunities for student involvement in competitive athletics, enriching
fine arts activities, and other student activities. Spiritual growth and
high academic achievement are central themes of the Calvary experience.
Quality education results from quality people working in a quality environment
with quality materials. The Calvary learning environment is designed to
be an exciting, imaginative, and disciplined laboratory which nurtures
creativity, high standards of scholarship, spiritual development and a
biblical philosophy for living. The Christian men and women of the faculty
and staff have each demonstrated professional excellence and a personal
commitment to Jesus Christ. Their desire is to challenge students to achieve
academically to the highest levels of their God-given abilities while becoming
the persons of high moral and ethical character God desires.
The end result of Christian education is to produce academically successful
graduates who possess a biblical
worldview –--a philosophy for living that views life’s challenges
and opportunities through the Bible. Because such education is a parental
responsibility, the school functions as an extension of the home to aid
parents in providing this biblically based educational opportunity. Calvary
Christian High School is committed to a close working relationship with
parents and welcomes parental involvement in the school.
