Welcome to Calvary Christian School!
Calvary Christian School is a dynamic ministry devoted to providing an outstanding Christian education to the students who attend the school. We are an interdenominational community that has as a common understanding the foundational principle that education is more than a matter of passing information to the mind of a student. Rather, a Christian education is an informed construction of a world view rooted in the foundation of God's Word and the redemptive power of Christ. This world view will profoundly impact a child's life and character. Education is a matter of the heart as well as the mind! |

From the Senior Administrator-
A New Year and New Strategic Partnerships
As we begin a new calendar year, I am pleased to announce that we have completed several new initiatives in the area of technology that will allow Calvary Christian School to better meet the needs of our students and parents in the years to come. The new partnerships will increase our ability to communicate, ease paperwork burden of parents and our office, and increase our ability to meet the changing educational dynamics we are currently facing.
The first thing that you have already noticed is our new website. This new platform should run more quickly on all your devices, and it will allow us to post more photos and videos as we seek to communicate more effectively with you. Best of all, it will be useful in bringing on new changes that are about to be mentioned. Obviously, we have a tremendous amount of content to lateral over to this new site, so please be patient as this occurs.
I am also pleased to announce our new strategic partner, Blackbaud. This company has served colleges and universities across America. It is now reaching out to schools like ours to help us leverage their technology here at Calvary Christian School. The initial roll-out will involve bringing their Enrollment Program on-line which will sinc with their new Back-Office Program. This will stream line student enrollment, allow for parent editing of their student's information, and eliminate most paper use. This will be done with state of the art cloud security. What this means for parents is click and sign forms which are easy to edit and less time devoted to school related forms. Pray for us as we place the Blackbaud programs to use in our school.
While a small thing, we have begun the purchase of new cell phone technology for the school as well as an initial limited experience with wireless tablets in the classrooms. While this is just early use, our textbook publishers are moving to digital content within their text books which allows for a better learning experience. I am sure that there will be more to come on this in the future.
Yes, I am guilty. I left the best for last. I am really excited to announce a new strategic partner. SevenStar. This thirteen year-old company will be our behind-the-curtain facilitator of our new Calvary Christian Online School for 6th-12th grade students here and around the world, We will be offering over two hundred college classes from five accredited Christian colleges. This new on-line school will allow us to expand our reach, while helping our brightest high school students graduate with as much as their Associates Degree completed when they leave high school. This will bring value to both parents and students. This will allow us to expand our offerings for our 6th-12th students who need summer remediation or who need to make up classes because of transfers from other schools. Most of all, this new program will allow us to minister to more students in a more effective manner as we expand the reach of our distinct Christian education ministry. This is truly exciting for me!
Please pray with us that we can bring these programs on-line in the most effect manner. If you have a heart and the skills to help, please let me know.

Middle and High School Appalachia Mission Team Fund Raisers
The week before Easter, several of the Calvary Christian School Middle and High School students will once again be taking part in mission trip to Elkhorn City, Kentucky which is in the middle of the devastated coal mining belt in Appalachia. This type of trip is an important aspect of the education students receive at Calvary Christian School as they develop a Christ centered worldview and a compassion-ate heart for others.
The school has been sending teams to this area for the past sixteen years, and we have been able to establish strong working relationships with the Pastors, churches, and community. The team will be providing a week-long Vacation Bible School for children and adults and a discipleship training class. They will also be ministering to individuals in the homeless shelter, veteran transition home, special needs school, and drug rehabilitation facility. Each day, they will also be reaching into the heart of the community by visiting homes.
Each year, the school community comes together to help the students raise funds to be able to make the trip. The total needed for the team this year for travel and ministry expenses is $495.00 per student. Please consider becoming involved in supporting this important mission trip through the fundraising events that are taking place such as the catalog sale, cookie and ice cream sale at lunch, change drive and other upcoming events. Lives will be changed in Appalachia and on our team because of this mission trip. The investment is invaluable for ministry and our students.
Finally, the most important thing you can do for the team is pray for them during the ten week process of preparing and then "going". Your prayers matter to the team members, and they all mean so much. Please be watching for updates and get involved!
