Our Leadership

Welcome to Calvary Christian Academy

A message from our President

I am so glad that your family is considering joining the CCA family! As you explore who we are and what we do for our students and families, I hope that you’re able to envision how an education at this school would impact your child’s life. 

Your child’s education is one of the most important investments you’ll ever make as a parent. When you think about how much time children spend a week at school being influenced by their peers, teachers, and curriculum, knowing that they’re being influenced for the better and encouraged to be more like Jesus is invaluable. 

At CCA, we are on a mission to train students to be like Jesus. Some may think that’s too high of a goal, but Jesus actually expected us to become like Him. In Luke 6:40, He says, “A student is not above his teacher, but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.” 

None of us have arrived yet, including our faculty and staff, but we know what we are aiming for. So if you and your family would like to join us on this journey of being transformed into His image through the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18), I encourage you to tour one of our campuses in person and pray about applying to CCA. 

I look forward to making disciples together!
