Why Start a Christian School?
Integration of Faith and Education: Christian schools aim to provide an educational environment where faith and learning are integrated.
Preservation of Christian Values: Some churches may establish schools to ensure that
children receive an education that aligns with the church community's Christian values and beliefs.
Community Outreach and Service: Christian schools often serve as a means for churches to engage with their local communities and offer a service that meets the needs of families seeking a faith-based education.
Alternative Educational Option: Christian schools provide an alternative to secular or public schools for families who desire an education that integrates faith into every aspect of learning.
Spiritual Formation: Churches recognize the importance of shaping the spiritual lives of young people.
The Benefits
Spiritual Growth: Parents desire their children to develop a deep, personal relationship with God.
Values-Based Education: Parents want their children to receive an education that aligns with their family's values and beliefs.
Safe and Supportive Community: Parents value the sense of community and belonging that a Christian school offers.
Academic Excellence: While prioritizing spiritual growth, parents also expect their children to receive a high-quality education.
Character Development: Beyond academic achievement, parents hope that their children will develop strong character traits that reflect the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Partnership with Parents: Parents appreciate the partnership between the school and the family in nurturing the holistic development of their children.

History & Vision
From Calvary Chapel Columbia's beginning in 2008, God laid the creation of a Christian school on the hearts of its leadership. That time is now.
We start this venture for the 2024-2025 school year by offering pre-K through 5th Grade. By God's grace, we intend to add a grade each year until Calvary Chapel Christian School can offer pre-K through 12th Grade.
Come on the journey with us to see what only He can accomplish.
"Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."
