Calvary Christian School was established in 1976 by Calvary Independent Baptist Church of Plymouth, NH. The purpose of CCS is to provide Christian education by integrating Biblical principles throughout the curiculum. The goal of the administration and faculty is to see the sudent body develop spiritually as well as academically. It is the intent of the school to instill in every student honesty, integrity, loyalty, and patriotism.

CCS offers classes from kindergarten at ages four and five through the twelfth grade. We use A Beka Book curriculum as a basis throughout the school. Our students have a history of placing among the highest national test score averages. A large percent of our graduates also go on to attend four year Christian colleges.

CCS draws students from all over central New Hampshire. Currently, CIBC of Tilton, NH, operates a bus that transports students to and from Tilton and Franklin areas to CCS each day with stops in New Hampton and Ashland along I-93. All students coming to CCS from those localities are eligible to ride on the bus.

The elementary program for Calvary Christian School provides the student with a solid foundation in the three major areas of academics: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Each year progressively builds upon the previous year allowing your child to excel. On the average, our elementary students are a year ahead of their peers from other schools. Well before the sixth grade, each student can read just about anything; has mastered addition, subtraction, multiplication, and long division; and has diagrammed sentences and written his own compositions.

CCS's elementary program enjoys a low student to teacher ratio, comfortable classrooms, and a traditional learning environment. The strong phonics curriculum and emphasis on reading, writing, and arithmetic will give your child an edge over his or her peers.

Every elementary student also receives music instruction and technique. This basic music instruction includes choral, theory, and some instrumental instruction. A couple of times each year, the students have the opportunity to display their skills in various school programs.

CCS continues its commitment to high-quality education throughout the high school years. High school begins in the 7^th grade for CCS students; however, it is not until the 9^th grade that the student begins specific preparation for graduation and entrance into college.

Standard high school classes that CCS students take each year include Bible, English, Literature, History, Mathematics, Science, Choral, and Physical Education. Other more concentrated classes include Algebra I and II, Biology, Chemistry, Geometry, and Physics. CCS also offers Yearbook, Woodshop, Hand Bells, and Driver's Education on a more selective basis. A student must earn a minimum of 20 credits in order to be considered eligible for graduation. For more detailed information, please contact CCS and ask for our handbook.
