Calvin Christian School exists to assist parents in providing Christian education so that their children may be “Equipped to Shine”.  Assisting parents also means seeking ways to make Christian education affordable. With your generous donations, we hope to continue to find ways in which all children can shine, as well as to provide funding to families who struggle to afford Christian education.
