Who We Are
What is Calvary Christian Academy?
Here at Calvary Christian Academy, we are a dedicated staff that loves Jesus and strongly desires to see every young life grow into a loving, nurturing relationship with their Creator. Families over the years have expressed their appreciation of having small teacher-to-student ratios in the classrooms, along with always feeling safe and welcome. CCA uses Bob Jones University (BJU) as its core curriculum, which allows for Christ-centered learning, emphasizing character building and intellectual development.
CCA is a K-12 school accredited through the National Association of Private Schools. In 2023 CCA became a ministry of Roseburg Christian Fellowship.
Our Mission
The mission of Calvary Christian Academy is to inspire a love for learning, instill Godly character, and impact the culture through nurturing a Christ-centered worldview in every student.
We accomplish this through:
An integrative curriculum that encourages the student to explore how subjects relate to one another and have relevance for life and work.
Modeling godly character through building caring relationships with faculty and staff.
Demonstrating through community projects how a Christian worldview motivates us to action and improves the lives of the community.
