HEAD OF SCHOOL WELCOME Thank you for contacting Calvary Christian High School for enrollment information. I hope you will find the information helpful as you consider Calvary. 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 hundreds of 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 650 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 28 teams competing against area schools as a member of FHSAA. Over 80% 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 the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS). 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

DISCOVER CALVARY Please take the time to explore our website, www.cchs.us, and learn more about how our students are challenged academically, artistically, athletically, and spiritually. These four areas of emphasis guide what we do each day at Calvary. It is our goal to create a passion for learning in the lives of our students as they become whom God designed them to be. Some students excel academically, others artistically and some shine athletically; however, we pray each student will standout spiritually as they grow in their walk with Christ. As you browse the website, please notice the photographs of our students and begin to picture yourself or your student at CCHS. Visiting our website is a great way to learn about CCHS but an even better way to discover our school is to visit on campus and see for yourself what makes CCHS so special. We would love to have you come to an Open House, or you may contact the school and request a tour.

STATEMENT OF FAITH THE ESSENTIALS WE BELIEVE... ABOUT GOD God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal 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
4
STATEMENT OF FAITH 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 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. 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 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Calvary Christian High School 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. A Biblical worldview is foundational to our mission, which is fulfilled through students acquiring Biblical truth, applying Biblical truth, and attaining their highest level of academic achievement.
ACCREDITATION AND AFFILIATION Calvary is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS). Calvary also maintains membership in the Southern Baptist Association 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.
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 foundaitional 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 opportunites for student invovlement 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 welcome parental involvement in the school.
THE END RESULT OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IS TO PRODUCE ACADEMICALLY SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES WHO POSSESS A BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW.

ATTITUDE 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 • Lunch-time Bible Studies • National and International Mission Trips • Peer Discipleship (one-on-one student discipleship) • Student Baptisms • Spiritual Emphasis Week • Weekly Chapel Services

STUDENT LIFE DRESS CODE Calvary has a "standard of dress.� The purpose of our dress code is to encourage an environment that is conducive to learning. Research shows there is a direct correlation to a student's performance and the dress code of the educational institution. The goal of the dress code is to address three areas: modesty, identity, and propriety. Students are to be neat, modest, well-groomed, and in designated pants/shorts/skirt/shirt at all times during school hours. The designated clothing includes a school uniform shirt with Dockers-style pants/shorts/skirts. Shirts must be purchased from the school uniform supplier. The pants/shorts/skirt may be purchased from any vendor. Students should dress modestly when attending activities on the school campus outside of school hours.

ATHLETICS DEVOTED TO CHRIST, 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.
