We are very pleased that you and your family are considering Calhoun Christian School, where we believe a Christian education is an excellent choice for educating our children. Here, they will mature according to God's plan into intelligent, well-rounded adults who know the meaning of kindness, generosity, and service.
Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision. As parents, you want the best education for your child, as well as an environment that will help shape your child socially, spiritually, emotionally, and academically. At Calhoun Christian School, our commitment to biblical truth and a passion for demonstrating the love of Jesus Christ permeate everything we do in and around the classroom. This approach enables us to nurture our students — mind, body, heart, and soul — as we develop their academic foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Our Pedagogy
At Calhoun Christian School, we teach a Biblical worldview that stems from a natural curiosity about the origins and purpose of the world around us. We wonder where the world came from, how it operates, and where it is going. Our teachers put learning in the context of God's character and purpose. Students learn that there is a connection between the classes they are required to take and their faith. God's eternal plan is reflected and integrated into every subject, from math and science to physical education and art. Students develop a mindset that includes God in the way they view life and the world around them.
Our teachers’ love for teaching, their value for academic excellence, and their walk with Christ are evident as they help train our children both in the classroom as well as outside of it. It is common to see members of our staff staying after school to mentor or tutor a student; or to see them supporting "their" kids at sporting events or dance recitals. It is this kind of dedication that makes Calhoun Christian School stand out academically, spiritually, and personally.
Parents, family, and church each play an integral part in building a Christ-centered education for our students. Children nurtured in this type of partnership will see the consistency of God's truth at work in all aspects of our lives; this will become a passion carried into adulthood and handed down throughout the generations.
As you consider enrolling at Calhoun Christian School, let us partner with you in praying for the right course for your family as we search our hearts and glorify God as He lays out the path before us.
Our History
In Fall 2002, a small group of parents who felt the need for a Christ-centered, independent Christian school gathered together to explore the idea of a new Christian school to serve the entire Calhoun county area. As a result of much prayer in seeking God’s help and direction, and many hours of hard work, Calhoun Christian School opened its doors on September 3, 2003. At the end of the 2008-2009 school year, Crosscreek Christian School, previously located at St. Mark Lutheran Church, consolidated with Calhoun Christian School beginning with the 2009-2010 school year. At the end of the 2012-2013 school year, Battle Creek Christian School closed their doors and many of their students joined our community.
We are currently educating around 350 students from preschool through Grade 12 and continue to see evidence of God’s goodness and faithfulness within Calhoun Christian School.
