What Parents Should Know
With an enrollment of 175 students, Calvary Chapel Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.
As a private school, Calvary Chapel Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process.
