The Bible is the foundation of all knowledge and thus integrated into all classes at Calvary. This is accomplished through Christian-based curriculum (A Beka and Bob Jones) that pursues the highest standard in education. The Iowa Assessment is given to all students in K5 through 12th grade to ensure academic excellence. Calvary consistently scores above the 90 percentile on this test. Calvary is also above the state and national averages on the college ACT test.

Students are encouraged to expand their talents through state and national academic meets and fine art competitions. As always, our goal is to impact hearts and minds for Christ.
