Our Mission

As a Christian school, it is our mission to assist parents in educating their children by conveying God’s truth physically, emotionally, and academically in order for each child to make Godly choices.

Our Vision

We, The Calvary Baptist School, see ourselves as a leading Christian school, which successfully implements 21st Century learning skills in a deliberately Christian environment that is shaped and governed by God. Our administration, faculty and staff, with the support of the pastor, staff and membership of Calvary Baptist Church seek through prayer to help our students acquire knowledge in order to have Christ-like discipline and service.

Statement of Values

  • We believe that God is the source of all truth; therefore, we must submit to God as our final Authority, believing the Bible to be His inspired Word. (2 Timothy 3: 16-17)
  • As a community of believers, we believe strongly in our testimony and demonstrate in our lives a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. In addition, we believe in His unconditional love for us. (John 3:16)
  • We believe that the integration of God’s Word into all that we teach is essential to the spiritual, mental, physical and social development of our students. Therefore, we do our utmost to develop a strong partnership among the Christian home, church and school. (Deuteronomy 6:1-7)
  • Our curriculum is immersed in God’s Word. Thus, we instill excellence in all things for God’s glory. (Colossians 3:23-24)

Calvary Baptist School seeks to enroll well-rounded, academically motivated students without regard to race, sex, and ethnic or national origin.
