History

In 1982, Pastor Roger Baker of Calvary Baptist Church in King, North Carolina had a desire to reach young children to Christ^{[ citation needed ]} and Calvary Christian School was established. Tom Callahan was the first principal of CCS. Currently, Bradley Nagel is the Principal. ^[4] Anthony Keel is currently the longest running teacher at CCS.

On March 12, 2020, CCS was dramatically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to remote learning for the remainder of the school year. However, CCS began the 2020–2021 school year with no issues and in-class learning while observing social distancing guidelines and masks were optional.

In 2021, a new school building was built next to the Calvary Baptist Church. The 2022–23 school year was the first school year to feature this building.
