About Us

Our Purpose:
Calvary Christian School Private School Satellite Program (CCS-PSP) is a part of the education ministry of Calvary Chapel Vista. Our desired purpose is to assist families in their call from the Lord to educate their children at home.

We do not require that families attend Calvary Chapel Vista in order to be enrolled in CCS-PSP. However, we ask that families be in complete agreement with our Statement of Faith.

CCS-PSP seeks to prepare their students to be vessels of honor, prepared for every good work, so that Christ himself can use them for His highest purposes. (2Timothy 2:21)

We believe because of the precious faith we have received from our God and Savior Jesus Christ and by His divine power, we should make every effort to add to our faith: goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love. For if we possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep us from being ineffective and unproductive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Our Educational Philosophy: "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." (Deuteronomy 6:6-7) We also concur with the following definition of education taken from the American Dictionary of the English Language, by Noah Webster, 1828 version. Education: The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formulation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to 1) enlighten the understanding, 2) correct the temper, 3) form the manners and habits of youth, and 4) fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rest on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.

Our Statement of Faith:
JESUS CHRIST is the foundation and cornerstone of the church. He came to restore man’s broken relationship with God. His finished work on the cross made that possible. Because of His love demonstrated on the cross by dying for our sins, we now have reason to fellowship with one another and proclaim salvation through His life, death, and resurrection (1Corinthians 3:11, Ephesians 2:20, Romans 5:6-10).

THE BIBLE is the inspired, infallible, authoritative, inerrant word of God and is relevant and applicable to man today. Therefore, we place great emphasis upon teaching it in public, studying it in private, and using it as a guide for our daily lives (Acts 20:32, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 1 Thessalonians 2:13).

WORSHIP: We believe God is worthy of all praise, reverence and love. We take special time to worship Him in the church with song. It is our goal to worship Him with our whole lives as well; at home, at work and at play (John 4:23, Colossians 3:16, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

LOVE is the greatest virtue and demonstration of the reality of Jesus Christ. We endeavor to show a Christ-like love toward all men. Love should be exhibited in our lives by our words, as well as, our actions (John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 13:13, Philippians 2:3).

CHRISTIAN GROWTH: Our supreme desire is to know Christ and be conformed into His image, likeness, and example by the power of the Holy Spirit. We encourage this by abiding in Jesus Christ through His Word, prayer, fellowship and by yielding our lives to the Holy Spirit (John 15:5, Romans 8:29, Ephesians 4:15).

CHRISTIAN SERVICE is part of the Christian life and is the responsibility of all believers. Our goal is to develop the ministry of every member to the benefit of all (Ephesians 4:11-13, 1 Corinthians 12:4-7).
