About Our School
Philosophy
Our philosophy is rooted in the conviction that God's truth is the basis of all genuine learning. Every subject falls within a Christian perspective.
Calvary Christian School is concerned not only with the student's scholastic or academic performance, but also recognizes the priority of spiritual growth for each student.
Mission
The primary goal of Calvary Christian School is to prepare students academically and spiritually for a life of service, according to individual talents and abilities for the honour and glory of God.
Purpose and Scope
Calvary Christian School is dedicated to providing quality education in an atmosphere where the core curriculum meets and attempts to exceed the requirements as set forth by the Ministry of Education and where learning experiences conform to the principle of God's Word.
Calvary Christian School has a philosophical approach to education that is unique because it is thoroughly Christian throughout the total curriculum. We believe that "all truth" is "God's truth". The Bible verse best representing this approach is found in Colossians 2:2-3.
"That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
All subjects are presented to ultimately glorify God. Mathematics is taught to show the precise orderliness of God's world. Science is taught to show the creative handiwork of God. History is presented as HIS-story. Reading is necessary so the child can read about God, and music was given to us by God to glorify Him. This approach is enhanced by the addition of Bible courses, Scripture memorization and Chapel services which are an integral part of the school program.
Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be God's written communication to us. In its original writings, it was given without error and has been remarkably preserved and translated for today so that it still remains the authoritative standard for every age and every life.
- We believe that the Godhead eternally exists in three persons - the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the essential Deity and virgin birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is a Divine personality - the Third Person of the Trinity who is now here present in the true church.
- We believe that man, originally created in the image and after the likeness of God, fell from his high and holy estate through disobedience and totally lost all spiritual life. We are, therefore, all sinners before God.
- We believe that salvation from the judgment of God, which exists upon all sinners, was made possible through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, as He died on a cross in our place. There in that day, all the demands of God's justice were fulfilled for every person who would ever live.
- We believe that all sinners who genuinely confess their sinfulness and ask to be forgiven shall experience the gracious gift of God's forgiveness and receive eternal salvation.
- We believe that Jesus was bodily raised from the dead on the third day as the scriptures declare. Later, He ascended to heaven where He is head of the Church and intercedes for believers. From there, He will return to earth personally, bodily and visibly. He will receive His Church unto Himself and then set up and rule for a thousand years the righteous kingdom of David. Afterward, we look forward to spending the rest of eternity with Him.
- We believe that those who refuse the offer of God's gracious gift of salvation are doomed to suffer eternal conscious separation from Him.
- We believe that the Church is composed of all who are united by the Holy Spirit to the risen and ascended Son of God and that by the same Spirit we are all baptized into one body.
- We believe that Satan is a personality, the archenemy of God.
