Testimonials

What Parents are Saying

Calvary has been a great place for my daughter to learn and grow in both her education and faith. Calvary provides a safe, positive and supportive environment for the students and families. We are proud to be a part of the Calvary Baptist School community.

Rising Middle School Student Family

I wanted a safe environment that would nurture my children’s heart for Jesus while also providing a solid foundation in academics. My mission field is my children, and I know that when they are at school, I have an entire support system of teachers and staff there to help me guide them. They are gaining the proper equipment to excel in every aspect of life at Calvary.
