Mission Statement:

Calvary Chapel Big Bear Christian School, as a ministry of Calvary Chapel Big Bear, exists for the purpose of assisting parents in their responsibility of biblically training the child “in the way he should go.” Academic excellence, fine arts, and service programs serve as a means to an end in preparing young people to serve Christ and His kingdom. CCBBCS students are encouraged and expected to be disciplined and Christ-honoring in word and deed.

Our Vision

Our Mission at CCBBCS is to glorify Christ and serve Him by providing services designed to aid and assist families seeking to homeschool. God has placed upon our hearts the need of a homeschool umbrella and a desire to encourage parents as they partake in this mighty ministry of home education. The goal of our homeschool umbrella is to encourage and support Christian families in the education of their children and to help preserve their religious liberty to do so.

What We Offer

We offer umbrella protection, unencumbered by the secular state or federal government.

Record keeping, attendance records, report cards, student activities, student service opportunities, and promotion ceremonies. As well as curriculum guidance and mentoring.

Also:

• Field trips

• Student holiday celebrations

In a 1972 court case, Wisconsin vs. Yoder, Justice E. Harold Hallows wrote, “We view this case as involving solely a parent’s right of religious freedom to bring up his children as he believes God dictates.”
