Overview
Holy Cross School is proud to be fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Elementary Schools.
Our school`s vision is to be a community where the educational process is centered on the love of Christ and the development of the whole child. By exposing students to Gospel values, high academic standards and individual expectations, Holy Cross School is committed to preparing and enhancing the personal excellence of each and every student.
Calvary Christian Academy is celebrating 40 years of service to Kent County, Delaware.
CCA is the largest non-denominational K-12 private Christian school in this area, and we are solvent and growing. God has truly blessed CCA over the past 40 years, and we are growing in "wisdom and stature" each year.
We thank God for the opportunity to serve our community, and we look forward to meeting you.
