Introduction To Our School
Calvary Baptist Schools (CBS) is a private Christian school located in the city of La Verne, California and operated as a ministry of Calvary Baptist Church, founded in 1953. The church is a member of the Baptist Missionary Association (BMA). The focus of our school and church ministry is mission work, both in our local community and throughout the world.
Our school serves families with children from the ages of two in preschool through 12th grade. Students enrolled at CBS have the opportunity to experience a complete, family-oriented relationship through the classes and programs we offer at various grade levels. 
Since 1973, we have been authorized to accept foreign students through the I-20 program.
We offer a complete academic program for students with varying abilities. We offer a general diploma for students planning to attend a junior college or tech school, a vocational diploma which incorporates outside work experience, an academic diploma for students planning to enter the University of California system, and an academic diploma for students planning to enter the California State University system.
Our Philosophy of Education
The educational philosophy of Calvary Baptist Schools is based on a God-centered view of truth as it is presented in the Bible. Our goal for students attending CBS is to develop a personal relationship with God and to develop a Christian mind and Godly lifestyle. We want our students to seek God's will for their lives. We want to equip our students with the basic tools of learning by providing a quality academic education fully integrated with Biblical principles.
In order to be successful in training students, we must work as a partner with parents and family members who will uphold these values in all aspects of their family life. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to experience a Christian education. CBS works closely with families of students with special needs to determine whether or not we can offer courses at a level that will meet their needs.
Courses & Activities
Calvary Baptist Schools offers a complete Christian-based academic curriculum for students preschool through high school. In addition to the core classes, we also offer art, Spanish (through level 3), music, computer science, and yearbook classes. As a member of ACSI, our students participate in annual competitions such as the speech meet, math olympics, spelling bee, science fair, and art fair.
We host the regional art fair for ACSI, generally displaying between 500 - 1000 pieces of art annually. Our music class is a choral group with a mission of sharing God's word through music to other Christian schools, churches and groups throughout Southern California. Our yearbook, The Cub, is published annually and was awarded first place with special merit as the best overall yearbook for small schools by the American Scholastic Press Association.

Our Statement of Faith
We believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired Word of God. We believe that God is a Triune Being, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, conceived of the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
We believe that all who believe in Him are justified by their faith on the grounds of his shed blood. We believe that Jesus arose from the dead, ascended into Heaven, and is coming again for the believers.
We believe that as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, He will establish His kingdom on earth. We believe that the primary responsibility of the believer is to share the Gospel of Christ in all the world and to every creature.
Academic Achievements
Students enrolled in the Pre-K program through the 12th grade are tested annually. We use the Stanford 10 Achievement Test to evaluate the progress of our students. Students who have been enrolled at Calvary Baptist Schools throughout their academic career have demonstrated above-average scores on these tests.
Graduates of CBS have been accepted by major universities and colleges in the state of California, as well as out-of-state institutions. Additionally, students have joined various branches of the armed services and honorably served our country throughout the years.
Grading Policy
Calvary Baptist Schools provides progress reports every three weeks. Grades are given on a percentage basis, as follows:
90 - 100% = A
80 - 89% = B
70 - 79% = C
60 - 69% = D
0 - 59% = F
Report cards are mailed on a quarterly basis. Grades are converted to a letter grade and recorded on cumulative records on a semester basis.
Acceptance Policy
Calvary Baptist Schools does not discriminate in admissions with respect to sex, race, color or national origin. We accept students of myriad academic abilities. However, not all students are automatically accepted at CBS. Specifically, students who actively oppose attending here, students who desire to work against the cause of Christ, students who fail to cooperate with school rules and policies, students who live independently of parents or guardians, students who are pregnant or are parents may not attend Calvary. Students who have been asked to leave may petition our school board for consideration. Students accepted under this condition are admitted on a probationary basis, subject to periodic review.
