Core Values
Embracing Kingdom Values - Calvary Schools of Holland teach
the Word of God as the only determinant of one's faith, the compass for one's
direction, the basis for one's choices, the standard for one's daily life
practice, and the source of one's values. Through understanding and
embracing Kingdom values, students learn to judge between those things that
have eternal or temporal worth, and to give first priority accordingly.
Developing Christian Character - Christian character is developed at Calvary Schools of Holland through consistent communication
of the character of God, the life of Christ and the enabling power of the Holy
Spirit. Students are assisted in the development of God-honoring habits
of attitude, thought and action, affirmed in their exercise of the same and
corrected when and where such character is not demonstrated.
Modeling Spiritual Maturity - The adult staff of Calvary Schools of Holland provides opportunity for
students to observe and to emulate relationships that demonstrate love, and
nurture in the fulfillment of staff responsibility to the education of
students, servanthood, and mutual support in the communication and
cooperation between parents and staff.
Integrating Faith and Academics - Through both its choice of texts and the presentation of subject matter
by teachers, Calvary Schools of Holland help
children see that the Creator of the universe is the Keeper of all truth from
which we discover and build bodies of knowledge. Faith is neither
inferior to fact nor in opposition to it. Rather it provides opportunity
for the acknowledgment of God's awesomeness and the expression of gratitude for
His orderly design of the world and His sovereignty over all.
Holding a Standard of Excellence - Calvary Schools of Holland hold
to standards of excellence in academics, in sports, in music and in all other
activities through which students have opportunity to learn, to build on their
learning, and to share their learning with others as individuals or
groups. The schools' dress codes, their selection of organizational
memberships, their educational program development and choices reflect
institutional preferences, which provide a wholesome and balanced education.
