About Calvary Chapel School
About Us
Founded in 1996, Calvary Chapel School is a Christian school that educates students from K5 through 8th grade. We provide an excellent academic program in an environment where God's Word forms the foundation for all learning. Our discipleship-oriented culture provides a rich environment for cultivating each student, growing a community of well-equipped and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
We are a private Christian school dedicated to high academics, virtue, and integrity in our students. Christ is at the center of all we do—our statement of faith, curriculum, and activities. We partner with families to train children to think, speak, and act as Christians. Through discipleship, high behavior standards, and activities for all ages, students also develop a grace-filled character and love for all people.
Our students test out on average 2.5 grades higher than the national norm on SAT! They also participate in various service and enrichment opportunities such as mission trips, field trips, service projects, and retreats.
Our desire is to prepare each child to be the best they can be through a quality spiritual and educational environment while keeping it affordable for their parents!
We are a ministry of Calvary Chapel Sarasota.

Our vision is to disciple children to know God and His Word and help them develop a Biblical worldview that will shape their thinking during their time at our school and long after they leave CCS. We want the students to have a strong and genuine relationship with Jesus. We want students not only knowing about Jesus, but knowing and loving Him in a personal way. We want them to be prepared to navigate a world of ideologies in the light of biblical truth. In order to do this, they will need to be diligent students of the Bible, accurately handling the Word of Truth (2 Tim 2:15). They will also need to be doers not only hearers of the Word (James 1:22). We strive to be a Christian school that provides an environment that encourages students not only to learn about God, but to develop a personal intimate relationship with Him through worship, Bible reading and prayer.

We provide a Christ-centered educational program which is based on the authoritative Word of God (2 Tim 3:16-17) to help students in knowing and loving God as well as impress on them a Biblical worldview.
The essential foundation of Christian education is that true knowledge comes from our Creator. Knowledge begins with an understanding of who God is and who we are in relation to Him. There is no such thing as religious neutrality in education. The very nature of education dictates that schools will inherently communicate some particular belief system.
CCS communicates that God is the source of all truth. Unlike schools that exclude God from the equation and communicate that He is at best irrelevant to truth, or possibly that He does not exist at all and man determines his own truth. We believe that truth is absolute, unchanging, independent of the norm, and is knowable. Therefore, education at CCS is defined by a pursuit of that truth through knowing God and understanding the world He created. We help each student in developing a Biblical worldview which is the lens through which one sees and understands the world.

It is our goal to follow biblical principles in all we do (Col 3:23, 2 Pet 1:3).

It is our goal to follow biblical principles in all we do (Col 3:23, 2 Pet 1:3). We employ and develop mature Christian teachers and staff who teach and minister to the students, families, and each other using the word of God and modeling Christ-likeness in their actions (Luke 6:40). By their wise and loving examples, students witness selfless love in real life, and learn what looks like to be a fully committed follower of Christ.
Our teachers and staff have a ministry mindset and their decision to work at CCS is a calling for each one of them. Students thrive when both parents and teachers are like-minded in their desire to teach them from a distinctively Biblical world and life view.

We strive to be a Christian school that serves the family and local church as they train young people to have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ (Deut 6:5-7). We strive to equip the students and the parents in how to study the Bible so that they can live according to God’s Word and then to evangelize and disciple others (2 Tim 2:15).
Our students experience daily devotionals and prayer, weekly chapel with time of praise and worship and Bible memorization activities which reinforces our bible-teaching infused curriculum. For the parents, we hold Bible studies as well as classes on Biblical parenting and discipleship videos. Parents meet with each other and are given the opportunity to share and encourage each other in their task of raising children to know and love Christ.
