Monday, June 1, was the first day of the 2009 Summer Blast Day Camp. Hours of operation are from 6:30 AM unti 6:30 PM, and is being held at the CCS Upper Campus "B" Building. The campers are having three or four field trips per week, art, music, Bible time, computer, and special theme days. There are a few spaces left for students who are enrolled for the 2009-2010 school year. Please call the school office for details.
New Families Welcome!
While we are very excited about the strong registration of the families that currently call CCS home, we are always looking for new parents who want a Christ centered education for their children. Please look through the site, and then contact the school office to meet with the administrator. We look forward to meeting you!
New Referral Proram
****************************************************************************
Caring and Sharing Referral Program
(effective 7/6/2009)
Purposes
The purposes of the Caring and Sharing Referral Program are:
Increase school enrollment through encouraging personal involvement of parents and friends of the school. This should include their testimony of personal experiences and what CCS has meant to their family to their friends.
Create a sense of ownership, belonging and responsibility within the school community which includes parents, students, and faculty. This sense should lead to a desire to share in stewardship over the blessing the ministry Calvary Christian School is to the community.
Educate the school community in the financial dynamics of a Christian school.
Redirect advertising funds from traditional methods of recruiting new students (direct mail, advertising, yellow pages, etc) to parents who let others know about the school.
The Need
Calvary Christian School is a ministry. Like all ministries, the ability of Calvary Christian School to meet its mission and vision in a quality manner are tied to the resources that are available to be used these purposes. Tuition and other fees that are paid by parents are the main source of funds and account for 96% of all revenue to the school.
The Lord has allowed Calvary Christian School to maintain facilities for 280 students. In recent years, the school’s enrollment has been between 160-180 students.
Good stewardship and the ability to better address our mission and vision of teacher, training, and growing young Christians requires us to expand our student body.
The Program
All parents who currently have a child enrolled in Calvary Christian School will be able to mention the availability of a $500 referral scholarship to their friends. The new family should be sure to mention the referring parent when asking about the scholarship. When the new family enrolls their child, the new family will be given the scholarship. The parent who refers the new family will also be given a matching $500 scholarship after the new family has paid their first monthly tuition payment.
The Details
The scholarships are limited to one per new family regardless of the number of children.
A currently enrolled parent can refer as many new families as they wish. There is no limit on the number of match scholarships that they can receive.
Both types of scholarships will be spread over the number of remaining ACH payments on their account to reduce the amount of their monthly payments for the remainder of the school year.
Referring parents who have paid their tuition in advance for the current school year will be credited the scholarship amount the next school year.
No checks will be written by the school for any scholarship.
A total of one scholarship of any type (military, low income, ministerial) may be used by a new family. The eligible scholarship with the largest amount will be used. However, the referring family will still receive their matching scholarship if the new family qualifies for a different type of scholarship.

New: Transition Four Year Old Kindergarten
Many children who turn four years old after the traditional school deadlines are ready to learn. They need far more than the traditional day care setting. We have recognized this need, and have started a new program to serve these students.
Children who turn four between July 2 and December 31, 2009, may attend our new "Transitions Four Kindergarten." The children must be totally potty trained and must be able to maintain in a classroom setting for short periods of time. Class size will be limited to 10-12 students, so enrollment will be on a first come first served basis.
Please contact the school administrator for the details on this program.
Active Duty Military Scholarships Extended
Calvary Christian School is pleased to announce that ten $500 scholarships have been approved for children of active duty military families that are entering Calvary Christian School for the first time in the 2009-2010 CCS School Year. These funds have almost been depleted, so please do not delay in applying.
Single Parent Scholarships Extended
The administration of Calvary Christian School understands the financial hardships faced by a single parent who wants a Christian education for their child. Because of this, the school has approved five scholarships of between $840-1200 for single parents who need help with the before and after school cost of daycare when their student attends CCS. These scholarships are for new families entering the school for the 2009-2010 school year. Single parents who meet the financial criteria and who can provide a reference from their pastor are encouraged to contact the school’s administrator for additional details. These funds have almost been depleted, so please do not delay in applying.
All iddle and high school student: Come join the CCS Middle and High School Missions team for a three day festival that is all about praising God and having a great time with your friends.
