Welcome to Calvary Christian School
Calvary Christian School is a Christian school located in Chattanooga,TN. We have a 49 year history that began with a group of Christian parents with a solid commitment to creating a school that could offer their children a strong academic experience integrated with God's word. Today, that same goal is at the forefront of everything we do at CCS. We are blessed to be continuing that important mission which we believe has eternal value! Our prayer is that all of our students and parents come to know Jesus Christ as their Savior.
About CCS
A ministry of Calvary Independent Baptist Church since 1976
We are happy to introduce you to Calvary Christian School. Calvary Christian School has been a ministry of Calvary Independent Baptist Church since 1976. We are dedicated to the purpose of training young people for Christian leadership.
Our plan is simple yet profound:
- To see Christian young people conformed to the image of Jesus Christ.
- To provide the best academic training with a strong Christian emphasis.
- To achieve mastery in the tools of learning, communication, and service.
- To prepare children spiritually by instilling in them a personal responsibility to their Creator.
- To prepare children to successfully live in a democratic republic and to be patriotic citizens.
Our Purpose
The primary purpose of Calvary Christian School is to glorify God, our Creator and Savior. As a ministry of Calvary Independent Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Jamie Colbert, we are committed to fulfilling the educational mandate from Scripture: "teaching them to observe all things" (Matthew 28:20). We partner with Christian parents to provide an education grounded in biblical truth and Christian values. Our goal is to help students develop a Christian worldview, understanding the fall of man and the plan of salvation, so they can find peace and purpose in a chaotic world.
Why Choose CCS
Academic Excellence
Graduates of CCS have attended both Christian and secular colleges. An extremely high percentage of our young people go on to higher education.
Small Classes
We are selective with the students we admit. We are more concerned with quality, not quantity. Our teacher-student ratio ranges from 1:5 – 1:10.
Experienced Christian Teachers
Every teacher has a clear testimony of salvation and demonstrates Christ in their church ministry as well as in their personal lives. The average experience of our teachers for 2016/2017 is 20 years.
State Approved Preschool
We have a state approved preschool where we teach our little ones all about Jesus!
Christ-Centered Curriculum
We currently use a mixture of textbooks and materials from Bob Jones University Press, Abeka Book and Rock of Ages Prison Ministry.
Strong Spiritual Emphasis
As stated clearly in our objectives, our desire is to train young people to become godly servants in their homes, churches, and communities. The Bible is our guide in every aspect of CCS, whether it is conduct, discipline, morals, or appearance. A Bible class is taught at every grade level. Chapel is held weekly where we use local, Independent Baptist pastors as well as our own church preachers to preach in our chapel services.
Wholesome Social Activities
CCS offers a variety of activities that are enjoyable but are in keeping with Biblical standards. These include music and academic competition, class projects, field trips, and seasonal programs.
Reasonable Tuition
Our desire is to keep our tuition as reasonable as is possible. We offer discounts to single parents, grandparents with full custody of their grandchildren, pastors and youth pastors.
