Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Middle School! I am so glad you’re exploring what it means to be part of the Calvary Chapel Schools community. As someone who deeply values Christ-centered education and Calvary’s vibrant school community, I’m honored to engage with students in this part of their journey.
Middle school is an exciting developmental stage where students develop their sense of self and the important impact they have on their school and faith community. In Middle School, we invite students to ENGAGE in all aspects of learning with curiosity, purpose, and innovation. Rooted in God’s boundless love, our students identify personal strengths, grow in self-awareness and empathy for others, and mature as valuable, contributing members of our Christ-centered community. Every student is known, respected, and called into unity.
This vision is carried out through our Framework for Formation, a model that equips students in four key themes of growth:
Academic Curiosity and Innovation with a Biblical Worldview
Students are challenged to think deeply, read broadly, and solve problems with creativity and integrity. God created us as learners, gifting us with the ability to discover His goodness and truth. We honor this gift by pursuing knowledge as a form of worship.
Identity in God’s Love: Knowing Me, Valuing You, Living as Us
Students grow in self-awareness and empathy by recognizing their value as individuals created in God’s image and deeply loved. Surrounded by caring adults and recognized as essential members of the community, they form meaningful relationships and develop a strong sense of belonging.
Cultivating Jesus-Formed Character
Students grow in leadership, emotional intelligence, empathy, and advocacy, becoming young people who reflect Christ’s heart in their words and actions.
Strengthened in Resolve: Equipping Strategic, Self-Aware Learners
Through goal-setting, perseverance, and reflection, students build the habits and resilience needed to thrive in high school and beyond.
As a middle school team, we strive to create an exceptional educational experience where every student knows they are loved by God. We recognize the unique developmental needs of our students and provide a supportive environment where they are encouraged to think critically, lead courageously, and walk faithfully.
We are thrilled to come alongside you in this part of your educational journey.
In Christ,
Rachel Escalante
Middle School Principal
