Calvary Christian Profile

Calvary Christian School was founded in 1970 in southern New Hampshire. C.C.S. is located in the high technology area of New England in Derry. It is in a rural setting, nestled 40 miles north of Boston, 25 miles from the seacoast, and 25 miles south of several mountain ski resorts. Calvary is a Christian school with traditional classroom setting and a progressive curriculum for kindergarten through grade twelve. C.C.S. is a college preparatory school which emphasizes mastery and academic excellence. Calvary offers an outstanding Christian education to the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We understand the total life of man. We understand regeneration to be the renewal of the image of God in knowledge, righteousness and holiness as exemplified by the Lord Jesus Christ. We understand the total life of man to be a spiritual enterprise so that his social, mental, physical and spiritual activities, express unreserved love for God. The task of raising children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord is assigned by God to the parents (Deut. 6:6-9; Eph. 6). The school, therefore, must function as an extension of the home as it assists parents in fulfilling THEIR God-ordained responsibilities. God ordained the church to be the primary tool for instruction in spiritual matters; therefore, Calvary Christian School is an  inseparable part of Calvary Bible Church.
