Calvary Christian Academy (CCA) was founded in September of 1995 as a school primarily for the members of Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia. It began the first year with approximately 400 students in grades PK through 8th, including special education. It was a vision that became a reality: to have an education ministry for those who regularly attend the church (who have accepted the Lord as their Savior and who want to send their children to a Christian school). In September of 1997, grades were completed to include 9th through 12th.
