Calvary Baptist Christian School

Calvary Baptist Church on Linden Road in Rockford, IL, is opening a Pre-K - 12th grade extended-year school for the 2024/2025 school year. We will have traditional subjects taught in the classroom, along with debate, gardening, home economics, journaling, quarterly community service projects, and STEM.

How the school will be different from other private schools in the area is, while we are a traditional school, we will be offering what we call an Extended Year. The following is how the extended year will work:

Once the traditional school year is completed at the end of May, the extended year will begin in June. The academic focus will be reading, math, and science. Students will participate in fun group science projects, a summer reading program, math games, outdoor activities, and field trips. Vacation days are scheduled during the summer.

The cost of the extended year is included in each student's tuition fee.

The extended school year is two-fold. First, Calvary Baptist Christian School believes extra time in a non-traditional classroom setting will help students perform better during the traditional school year. Math, reading, and science are the top 3 subjects that students fall behind in academically in the state of Illinois, and we want to see ALL our students succeed.Second, we believe that with the cost of the extended year that is included in tuition will bring financial relief in the summer months for working parents. 

We believe that our school is offering a huge benefit to students and parents in our community that are looking for affordable, quality education.
