At Calvary Christian School, we believe the arts are a powerful way for students to express the creativity God has placed within them. Whether through visual art, music, drama, or creative design, students are encouraged to explore their talents and develop the skills that allow them to reflect His beauty and truth. Our arts programs help students recognize their God‑given gifts and use them with purpose—creating, performing, worshiping, and sharing in ways that honor Him and inspire others.
Worship is at the center of who we are at Calvary Christian School.
Through music, Scripture, and shared moments of praise, students are invited to turn their hearts toward God and respond to His goodness. Our worship experiences help students recognize that honoring God isn’t limited to a stage or a song—it’s a posture of the heart. As they lift their voices together, students learn to express gratitude, deepen their faith, and use their God‑given gifts to glorify Him in every area of life.
