Calvery Christian School

What Calvery Christian School does

Calvary Christian Schools is an independent, accredited private Christian school operating a single PreK-12 campus at 5873 Kendra Rd, Fruitport, Michigan, serving West Michigan communities including Muskegon, Spring Lake, and Grand Haven. The school relocated from Muskegon to its current Fruitport campus in 1999 and is accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and North Central Accreditation (AdvancED). Its product line spans Eagle's Nest Childcare, Preschool, Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, and High School, supplemented by Athletics (member of MHSAA Alliance League, Class D), Fine Arts & Performing Arts, Spiritual Formation, a Homeschool Connect program, and an International Student Program. Technology infrastructure is built on PowerSchool (student information system) with Parchment handling transcripts and Common App/FAFSA integrations for college-bound seniors.

The school's go-to-market is sales-led direct admissions: families schedule campus tours, complete applications and academic assessments, and proceed through orientation handled by administrative staff. Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual tuition (the primary source), donations and community giving, and a Raise Right Scrip gift-card fundraising program. Customer segments are predominantly West Michigan families seeking Christ-centered PreK-12 education, with secondary segments including international students and student athletes. Distribution is wholly direct (no third-party channels), and marketing relies on Facebook, Instagram, campus tours, family referrals, a newsletter, and local community/church partnerships. The leadership team comprises School Administrator/Principal Sam Anhalt, Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Rick Maine, IT Director Jonathan Langdon, and a faculty of approximately 40 named educators across all grade levels.
