Calvary Academy is such an amazing school! I only went there for three years and I instantly connected with the students and teachers. Everyone there is like a huge family. I also love how connected they are to Christ, and they are a safe place that you can go to be openly religious and show your love for God. My favorite thing we did was Chapel every other Tuesday. It's not everyday you go to a school that takes time out of their day to Worship God. I also have enjoy the fun activities they do with students so they never get bored. I love this school so much and I would recommend it to any family!!

More passionate teachers who spend the time teaching what we need to know. I feel as though I learn better if the teacher is truly passionate about what they are talking about.

it's a very nice school, you can connect with the people there well. The teachers are always wanting the best for you and wanting you to excel in your grades, but also in christ and having him at the center of you life and encouraging you to have a daily walk with christ and to follow in unconditionally. The people and the teachers are very friendly and welcoming.

Better than most of the public schools in Springfield, but that is not saying much. If you do not attend the church affiliated with the school you will be outcast. The academics are not all that challenging and there are few athletic opportunities. I graduated from Calvary and do not live in Springf...
