Calvin Christian School opened its doors in 1961. Two classrooms. Restrooms. A tiny office. Humble beginnings. Yet from those modest beginnings a mighty institution grew. The school’s founders were members of the Christian Reformed Church of Escondido. They envisioned a place where faith and academics thrived together. They wanted to educate the whole child body mind and spirit. Their vision guided them through the construction. Men donated their labor. Women tirelessly fundraised.
The school quickly expanded. Today its campus spans 25 acres. It boasts over 30 classrooms. A state-of-the-art performing arts center stands proudly. A gymnasium echoes with the sounds of games and practices. Large playing fields invite active recreation. A full library provides quiet spaces for learning. Even a weight-training room caters to the active students.
Calvin Christian School provides a comprehensive education. The curriculum includes a strong focus on academics. It embraces the arts. It also values sports. The school offers a wide range of athletic teams. Junior high students participate in intramural sports. High school students compete in eight CIF athletic teams. From flag football to basketball to track and field the students develop their skills. More importantly they learn valuable life lessons such as discipline and teamwork.
