INSPIRING EXCELLENCE - MIND | BODY | SPIRIT

WELCOME HEAD OF SCHOOL | MR . DAVID KILGORE, M.Ed.

Thank you for your interest in Calvary Christian High School. I hope you will find the information helpful as you consider Calvary in your future career plans.

Calvary Christian High School is a ministry of Calvary Church and is conveniently located at 110 N. McMullen Booth Road (Corner of McMullen Booth and Drew Street) in Clearwater, FL. The school began in 2000 with the mission to “partner with the Christian home to provide a challenging college preparatory Christian education that equips students to live successfully according to God’s plan for their lives.” Since 2000, Calvary has graduated over 1,600 students who have gone on to further their education at some of the top colleges and universities in America. Many are beginning to establish their careers as they fulfill their purpose in life.

The school has grown from its beginning of 40 students to over 800 students enrolled today in grades 9–12. Calvary offers a balanced approach in its educational philosophy.

The advanced academic

opportunities include honors, dual credit, and advanced placement classes. The exposure to the arts prepares students to develop their talents, gifts, and abilities in ways that have the potential to influence their community for the rest of their lives. In athletics, Calvary provides opportunities for students on 36 teams competing against area schools as a member of FHSAA. Over 70% of the students participate on an athletic team. These three areas of emphasis are rounded out and stabilized by a Christian worldview. It is foundational to our mission that a Christian worldview be integrated into each subject and activity. As such, Calvary students are more than prepared to enter the next phase of their lives after high school graduation. Calvary is fully accredited by Cognia and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS),

and Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Again, thank you for your interest in Calvary. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Sincerely,

Mr. David Kilgore, M.Ed. Head of School

STATEMENT OF FAITH THE ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE

About God Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and are one God. Genesis 1:1,26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:18; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14

About Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is Lord. He is the Son of God, meaning He is divine. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to demonstrate His power over sin and death.

He ascended into Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to Earth to reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1–5, 14; 14:10–30; Hebrews 4:14, 15; 1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; Romans 1:3,4; Acts 1:9–11; 1 Timothy 6:14–15; Titus 2:13

About The Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation.

He provides the Christian with power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He gives every believer a spiritual

3

gift when they are saved. As Christians we seek to live under His control daily.

2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7–13; 14–16,17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3–16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18

About The Bible The Bible is God’s Word to us. Human authors under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit wrote it. Since it is inspired by God, it is inerrant, it does not err, and it is infallible, it cannot err. It is always true. It is the supreme source of truth and the supreme authority for Christian beliefs and living.

2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20, 21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105; 160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5

About Human Beings People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin.” This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems for life.

Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3–6; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1,2

About Salvation Salvation is God’s free gift to us but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer

of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith, we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ into his or her life by faith.

Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6; 1:12; Titus 3–5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1

About Eternal Security Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you have been genuinely saved, you cannot “lose” your salvation.

Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in it.

Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian.

4

It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.

John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25; 10:10, 14; 1 Peter 1:3–5

About Eternity People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin in Hell or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation in Heaven. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of existence.

John 3:16; 2:25; 5:11–13; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15

PHILOSOPHY IMPACTING THE WORLD FOR JESUS CHRIST

The CCHS philosophy rests on the belief that all truth is God’s truth, and the Bible is the only inspired and infallible, authoritative Word of God that contains that truth. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Therefore, the Bible must be foundational in all areas of a curriculum that is designed to enable pupils to develop to their full potential spiritually, mentally, socially, physically, and emotionally (Luke 2:52).

A quality educational program must enable students to prepare for success in college or other post secondary programs. Graduates must also be equipped to succeed in the world of work and in building strong Christian homes.

Therefore, curriculum that

includes honors, advanced placement, and dual-credit college classes with an emphasis on technology is essential. A well-rounded education includes ample opportunities for student involvement in competitive athletics, enriching fine arts activities, and other student activities. Spiritual growth and high academic achievement are central themes of the Calvary experience.

The end result of Christian education is to produce academically successful

graduates who possess a Biblical worldview - a philosophy for living that views life’s challenges and opportunities through the Bible. Because such education is a parental responsibility, the school functions as an extension of the home to aid parents in providing this Biblically-based educational opportunity. CCHS is committed to a close working relationship with parents and welcomes parental involvement in the school.

Accreditation and Affiliation Calvary is fully accredited by Cognia and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Calvary also maintains membership in the National Alliance of Christian Schools and the Florida High School Athletic Association.

Statement of Non-Discriminatory Policy Calvary admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of CCHS is to partner with the Christian home and the church to provide a challenging college preparatory Christian education that equips students to live successfully according to God’s plan for their lives.

Additionally, we believe an excellent education encompasses and impacts the whole person; therefore, the educational environment at CCHS enables faculty to influence both the minds and hearts of their students and to instill in them the wisdom, knowledge, and servant leadership required to be truly successful.

This is accomplished as we integrate the truths of God’s Word into every subject area and teach from a Biblical worldview.

Students complete a Bible course each year of attendance. Courses which recieve a letter grade are calculated into their cumulative GPA. Our bell schedule includes eight periods per day and students are advised to complete a challenging curriculum in their strength areas while balancing extracurriculars and family commitments.

CCHS College Counseling Essential Core Values •

• • •

•

Gospel-Centered Counseling: We give counsel from an eternal vantage point so that students understand they are uniquely designed by God for a purpose and that their skills and abilities are best utilized when they align their future with God’s will.

Transformative College Counseling: We desire to provide accurate information and well-researched advice in order to see students follow GOd’s best for their lives.

Impactful College Counseling: We encourage students to become aware of and celebrate all of the opportunities ahead of them and steward their gifts and abilities appropriately.

Collaborative College Counseling: We eagerly partner with our parents and students in the college-going educational process. Our goal is to equip families with the tools, resources, and support the need to confidently and successfully navigate the student’s individual post-secondary education plans.

Results-oriented College Counseling: We expect 100% of our senior class to be accepted into at least one of their best-fit colleges/universities and persist in their post-secondary journey because they navigated the best-fit college approach well.

ATTITUDE EXCELLENCE IN A CHRIST-CENTERED ENVIRONMENT

One of the many things that sets us apart from other private schools is our complete commitment to God’s Word, the Bible, and allowing it to transform the spiritual atmosphere of our student body.

We believe a biblical worldview is foundational to our mission, which is fulfilled through students acquiring biblical truth and applying biblical truth. We seek ways for students to apply the truth found in God’s Word (James 1:22) throughout the school year. Here are some of the activities that help shape the life of our student body: Community (local) Service Opportunities Daily Bible Classes Bible Studies & Discipleship Groups National and International Mission Trips

Spiritual Emphasis Week Student Baptisms Student-led prayer and worship Weekly Chapel Services

ARTS DEVELOPING A LIFELONG PASSION FOR THE ARTS

The mission of the Fine Arts Department at Calvary Christian High School is to provide a challenging college preparatory fine arts education that inspires and equips students to become lifelong practitioners and patrons of the arts, rooted in a Christian worldview.

ATHLETICS PLAY LIKE A WARRIOR

Each week is filled with practices and games as the students learn to be “Devoted to Christ and Play Like Warriors.”

What is a Warrior? Warriors are noble fighters racing into battle for causes greater than their own lives. Warriors are known for their sacrifice, the greatest of all which is offered up for the needs and lives of others. Warriors continue in the face of defeat, never say die, never say quit. As we train our student athletes to participate in their sport and to “Play Like Warriors,” we want them to remember a cause greater than athletic competition. A life devoted to Christ is the ultimate victory. Christ is the example of the greatest sacrifice offered up for those He loves. There is no greater victory than a life lived for Christ.
