PHILOSOPHY

The educational philosophy of Calvary Chapel Christian School is based upon a God-centered view that His Word is the standard for all truth, and that the Bible is the only infallible, authoritative, and inerrant Word of God.

We believe that providing spiritual unity is of utmost importance to a secure and balanced learning environment. Therefore, the satellite school parent must agree with our complete Statement of Faith. Seventh through twelfth grade students must also profess a personal faith in Jesus Christ and be actively seeking His Lordship in their life.


PURPOSE

SPIRITUAL– God has appointed parents with the primary responsibility of training and nurturing their children in the ways of the Lord.

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your hearts. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down and when you rise up...” (Deuteronomy 6:5-7 NKJV)

ACADEMIC– We believe that all children should have the opportunity to be successful in learning situations. To that end, Calvary Chapel Christian School Grizzly Academy works to provide structure, accountability and encouragement to help achieve the educational goals set forth for each child.
