Molding Children for Christ's Service
A Brief History of Mount Calvary Christian School
September 7, 1976, was a landmark for Mount Calvary Church. On that day the Mount Calvary Christian School opened its doors with an enrollment of 100 students. After attending public schools, many students enjoyed and thrived in the close, friendly atmosphere of a small Christian school. Beginning with K-4 through sixth grade, the school then added grades through twelfth grade. In June 1982, the Mount Calvary Christian School held its first twelfth grade graduation.
May 1980, the ground was broken for a new education building. With the completion of the new building came many varied activities-including athletics, yearbook, newspaper, student council, music program, National Honor Society, drama, and computers-as well as the general education requirements. During the summer of 1997, Mount Calvary Church broke ground for the new Family Life Center. This building would house a 9,000 square foot gymnasium, kitchen, science lab, administrative and support staff offices, and additional classrooms.
Mount Calvary Christian School is a member of the Association of Christian School International (ACSI) and Middle Atlantic Christian School Association (MACSA). These organizations help Christian schools with updates on legal matters, the purchasing and scoring of achievement testing, administrative and curricular materials, and fine art competitions. Our faculty and staff attend annual association conventions in an effort to continue their professional growth.
