About Us
Why Calvary Chapel Schools?
Calvary Chapel Schools is unique because of its history, community, and educational offering. As a parent or guardian looking for a biblically focused, outstanding education for your student, we are committed to preparing him/her for college, career, and life. We offer an excellent educational experience from preschool through high school all housed on one campus. Here are a few of the reasons why CCS is distinctive in Christian Education:
- CCS teaches from a theologically-sound, biblically-accurate perspective. Knowing that in recent times many churches and schools have drifted away from the doctrine of the Bible and the true teachings of Jesus, CCS continues the tradition of teaching from a Biblical worldview that is true to scripture.
- CCS is a comprehensive offering for your family’s educational needs. Whatever your children’s ages, CCS has a place for them. CCS students beginning in preschool generally continue their education with us through high school. If you are a parent with children of differing ages and grade levels, you drive to one campus with one educational system. CCS makes it uncomplicated for you, one campus with four separate schools.
- CCS has competitive tuition rates. As tuition rates rise across the country and California, parents often struggle to afford private school tuition for their students. CCS has competitive tuition rates for an exceptional educational experience.
- CCS has a down-to-earth, family-centered culture. Parents understand that the culture of a school is vitally important. At CCS, we are proud of our culture which values and emulates the teachings of Jesus - love and truth combined with grace and justice. Our leadership and staff value people, causing us to create an atmosphere that creates community.
- CCS upholds Biblical standards. Recognizing our students are on a journey of faith, and with respect and guidance for their journey, we do not require professions of faith by our students in order to attend our school. However, we require our students to respect and uphold the biblical standards set forth by our school leadership.
- CCS is the ideal size for optimal learning. With an 18:1 student-to-teacher ratio, CCS is small enough for our students to receive the individual attention they need and large enough to provide our students with a variety of opportunities and extra-curricular activities.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds, and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. - Ephesians 4:11-13
PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of Calvary Chapel Schools is intrinsically aligned to that of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa where the supreme desire is to know Christ and to be conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe that bringing up a child in the likeness of Christ is primarily the responsibility and Biblical duty of the parent(s). Therefore, our school exists to assist in that education, without diminishing the parents’ integral role. We strive to give students the skills to be productive citizens, but most importantly to nurture a relationship with Jesus Christ and to be an accurate
