Calvary Christian Academy

Pwofesè nou yo

Our director has been working with children for over 10 years. She loves learning from the kids just as much as she loves teaching. It was always her dream to open up her own childcare program, but before she did that, she worked with the magistrate court system. While there, she learned a lot about moral integrity, empathy and patience, which she upholds in the way she approaches the care she provides for kids.

Although most Christian schools would agree on certain fundamentals, it is imperative that parents scrutinize the foundational beliefs of any school in which they may enroll their child(ren). Therefore, below are the most important philosophical elements that we at Calvary Christian Academy believe distinguish our approach to education.

We believe that the Bible clearly instructs parents, not the church or state, to “bring children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” The church’s commission is essentially to spread the Gospel and train believers (Matt.28:18- 20). The state has been directed to enforce God’s laws and protect the innocent (Romans 13). The church trains parents and the state protects families. The family raises and educates children (Eph.6:1-4). Therefore, under the delegation of the family, we seek to teach and discipline in a manner consistent with the Bible and a godly home environment.

We believe that God’s character is revealed not only in His Word but also in every facet of the creation. Therefore, we teach that all knowledge is interrelated (integrated) and can instruct us about God himself.

God wants us to love Him with our minds, as well as with our hearts, souls, and strength (Matt. 22:37). Therefore, we seek to individually challenge children at all levels and teach them how to learn, by using the centuries- old, proven classical method (see following explanation), incorporating instruction in Latin.

We want to help parents teach their children that all they do should be done “heartily, as unto the Lord.” Therefore, we seek to encourage quality academic work and maintain high standards of conduct. This necessarily includes biblical discipline principles.

We have a full K-12 program because we believe that as long as a child is under the parents’ authority and undergoing formal education, he should be trained biblically (Deut. 6:6,7; Prov. 22:6).
