Calvary Christian School

Accreditation

We intend to always pursue excellence in academic standards, while never compromising Biblical standards and spiritual conviction. Calvary Christian School files a Private School Affidavit with the California Department of Education (and local school district) on a yearly basis.  However, by decision based on conviction, this school receives no state funding and is not state regulated.  This does not affect the quality of education or the legitimacy of the diploma.

California Private Schools

Every person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation offering or conducting a full-time day or boarding school at the elementary or high school level must file an Affidavit (California Education Code Section 33190).  The following is an excerpt from the State of California's Department of Education page for Private Schools Frequently Asked Questions.

Operators of private schools are required by law to file a Private School Affidavit. In addition, the law provides an exemption from compulsory public school attendance for children who are being instructed in a private, full-time day school (EC 48200, 48220, 48222), so long as certain conditions are met: instruction must be provided by persons capable of teaching; and instruction must be in English and offered in the several branches of study required to be taught in California's public schools. In addition, attendance must be kept in a register that indicates every absence of the pupil from a half day or more of attendance. For the exemption from the compulsory attendance law to be valid, the attendance supervisor of the public school district must verify that the private school has filed the annual Private School Affidavit required by EC Section 33190. If the school has nonprofit tax status, the eligibility of that school's students, teachers and other educational personnel to participate in various federally funded programs is contingent upon the annual filing of the Affidavit.

Calvary Christian School meets the State Requirements for a California Private School.
