I have two sons that have attended Calvary Chapel Christian school. We are very happy with the spiritual formation offered at the school. The choir and drama presentations have been amazing. The sports programs are strong, and the safety of my child is rock solid. The price is fair and we have been very happy with our experience at this school for the last six years.

I've had three kids attend, two have graduated and all three have been blessed to attend Calvary. The one currently attending has been able to enroll in ECP classes as well as AP class and is excited about college. It's blessed to have my child and other two that have graduated to be able to get an education with spiritual emphasis.
