Calvary Christian School is committed to hiring high quality teachers and administrators of academic excellence. All the teachers and administrators have deep Christian values and a heart for children. Teachers, administrators and all educational assistants are screened carefully and selected on the basis of their Christian values, integrity, commitment and love for children.
With the belief that children do not care what you know until they know that you care, CCS teachers and administrators go well beyond the classroom to encourage, support and show love to the students. From attendance at student’s activities and sports outside of school, to calls and notes of encouragement, teachers and administrators show that they care on a continual basis. The opportunity for academic excellence is accessible for each student.
All of our classroom teachers hold California Teaching Credentials, and many have advanced degrees, including several with Masters, Reading Specialist Credentials, and two with PhDs. All of our highly qualified teachers are fully committed to generosity of time and heart in their interactions with students and families.
