Marysville Ohio Families, Here Is What I Want You to Know
If you live in the Marysville area, I know you are juggling a lot. Work schedules, practices, church, family time, and the constant desire to raise kids who are confident, kind, and grounded in truth.
That is why I love having conversations with families who are exploring Calvary Christian School. I am not here to pressure you. I am here to help you find the right fit for your child and make the process clear.
Calvary Christian School is located at 1673 County Road 9, Bellefontaine, Ohio 43311. Many Marysville families find the drive is about 30 minutes, which makes Calvary a realistic option even with a busy schedule. And if transportation is the piece that feels hard, I want you to know we have transportation options that can help.
If the first thing you are thinking is, “This sounds great, but how would we get there every day?” You are not alone. That is one of the most common questions I get from Marysville families. We have transportation options available. In some situations, students whose school building is within 30 minutes of Calvary, may be eligible for transportation through their home public school district. Calvary also offers a Marysville transportation option where students are picked up and dropped off daily at The Well Church of the Nazarene, 1126 North Maple Street, Marysville, Ohio 43040, for a small annual fee.
The best next step is for you to take a look at the current transportation information, and then reach out. I will help you talk through what is realistic for your family and what a normal week could look like.

Why Marysville families choose Calvary Christian School
When Marysville parents reach out to me, the question underneath the questions is usually this.
- Who is helping shape my child when I am not in the room?
I can explain our mission, but honestly, most families feel the difference when they walk into the building. Families often tell me they notice that students are known and cared for, and that our adults lead with conviction and warmth. That matters, because you are not just choosing classes. You are choosing who your child will be around every day. My goal is for you to feel confident that we will partner with you, communicate clearly, and support your child well.
A Biblical worldview that is more than a class
One thing I often hear from parents is that they want faith to be consistent and real, not something added on when it is convenient. At Calvary Christian School, a Biblical worldview is the foundation. It shapes how we approach learning, character, and decision-making. We want students to learn how to think clearly, live wisely, and stand on truth with humility and courage.
Portrait of a Graduate clarity
I believe parents desire and deserve a clear answer to this question.
- What kind of person will my child become?
Our Portrait of a Graduate helps keep the goal front and center. We are intentionally developing students who are prepared academically, grounded spiritually, and ready to lead with integrity in whatever God calls them to next.

The Calvary Way: Building a Christ Centered Christian School Culture Through Scripture
As Calvary Christian School continues to grow, one of the questions we ask often is this:
How do we protect what makes our community feel like home while also growing in wisdom, grace, and unity?
The answer is not found in a new set of rules or a document that replaces Scripture. God has already given us everything we need in His Word. Instead, The Calvary Way is our intentional effort to let Scripture shape how we speak, how we listen, and how we walk through even the hardest conversations together.
At Calvary Christian School, we believe a healthy Christian school culture is built through shared biblical values, Christ-centered communication, and strong family partnership. The Calvary Way is our commitment to living out Scripture together in everyday conversations, decisions, and relationships across our school community.
This is not doctrine.
This does not supersede Scripture.
This is Scripture applied.
Scripture First: How the Bible Shapes Our Christian School Culture
The Bible is our authority. The Calvary Way simply helps us season our conversations with biblical truth so that correction becomes discipleship, boundaries become care, and difficult moments become opportunities for growth.
“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.”
Colossians 4:6 ESV
Hard conversations are inevitable in any community. Scripture never avoids this reality. Instead, it calls us to speak truth in love, pursue reconciliation, and seek wisdom before reaction.
“The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits.”
James 3:17 ESV
That wisdom is what we are pursuing together.
A Shared Commitment for the Entire Christian School Community
The Calvary Way is not just for administrators.
It is not just for teachers or staff.
It is not just for parents or students.
It is for all of us.
Administrators. Teachers. Staff. Parents. Students. Families.
We believe a healthy culture is built when everyone shares the same expectations for how we treat one another, especially when we disagree, feel frustrated, or need clarity.
“Bear with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.”
Colossians 3:13 ESV
This shared language helps us slow down, listen well, assume the best, and seek understanding before judgment.
Grace Over Perfection in a Faith Based School Community
Let us be clear. We do not expect perfection from our families.
We are parents. We are busy. We are human.
And so are we as a staff.
The Calvary Way is not a measuring stick used to point fingers. It is a reminder we return to when we fall short. Grace is not weakness. Grace is obedience.
“For the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.”
Psalm 103:8 ESV
Why Biblical Culture Matters in a Growing Christian School
This is not a response to a problem.
As our school grows, our Calvary Christian family community, including staff, students, parents, and extended families, now represents around 2,200 people. With growth comes more relationships, more communication, and more opportunities for misunderstanding.
Scripture reminds us that community does not stay healthy by accident.
“Be eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Ephesians 4:3 ESV
Hear the Heart Behind The Calvary Way
For families who want to hear the heart behind this commitment in a more personal and conversational way, we invite you to listen to a podcast episode featuring Principal Tony Carter and Principal Marissa Smith.
In this conversation, they walk through the biblical foundation of Christian school culture, Christ centered communication, and how healthy relationships shape discipleship across our school community.
As shared in a recent podcast conversation:
“Relationships are really the foundation of Christian education. We are the body of Christ, and that shapes how we communicate with one another and how we resolve differences.” – Tony Carter

An Invitation and a Promise
The Calvary Way reflects our belief that Christian education is not only about academic excellence, but about forming hearts through discipleship, relationships, and Christ honoring communication.
This is a shared commitment, one that I personally strive to live out. If you ever feel I fall short, I invite you to hold me accountable.
“So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.”
Romans 14:19 ESV
Thank you for committing to us and for helping make Calvary Christian School a place where Christ is honored not just in what we teach, but in how we love one another.
