Calvary Academy Education
History
August 25, 1977 Calvary Academy opened its doors for the first time.
Calvary Academy is a Christian school for kindergarten through twelfth grade students. The Academy is committed to the furtherance of Christ and focuses on the individual's spiritual, physical and academic needs.
Calvary Academy is viewed as one of the Calvary Temple's highest priorities of youth missions. The Calvary Academy mission statement defines not only the desired educational excellence but also the spiritual values and goals. Because public schools are prohibited from providing Christian education, founding Pastor and Mrs. Johnson felt a great need to establish a Christian school where "a quality education in a wholesome Christian environment" could be pursued.
Calvary Temple is known and recognized in this community and in other places in the world for its many programs offered for young people.
Calvary Academy's Mission
The mission of Calvary Academy is to provide primary and secondary education in a Christian environment. Calvary Academy will provide an environment for each student to prepare, plan and pursue God's will for their lives: spiritually, intellectually, physically and socially.
Calvary Academy's Objectives
Providing education in a Christian environment begins with the fundamental assumptions that an infinite and personal God exists, that He is the Creator of the universe and mankind, and has revealed Himself through His creation and the Christian scriptures. The culmination of His revelation was that through Him we have eternal life.
The curricular offerings of the Academy shall fulfill the entrance requirements of Illinois colleges and/or universities. All activities, teaching and administrative functions shall be consistent with Christian scripture and the mission of the Academy. Administration, faculty, and staff shall be academically and spiritually qualified to carry out this mission.
Completion of the Academy's secondary education program should enable each student to be a contributing member of society in a career or continue post-secondary education. The curriculum will be broad enough to enable students to enroll and excel in a college preparatory curriculum.
Calvary Academy is a supplement to parents seeking to honor the admonition to "train up" (Proverbs 22:6), and provide regular instruction regarding spiritual matters for their children (Deuteronomy 4:9 and 6:6-9).
Because Christ lives, we believe young peoples' lives will be changed for a better future and eternity.
