Calvary Christian School will be a Christ-centered learning community where biblical truth shapes every subject, character is intentionally developed, and academic excellence is pursued through rigorous, innovative, and hands-on learning. Together with families, we will cultivate a safe and supportive environment where students grow in confidence, wisdom, and practical skills as they discover and pursue their God-given purpose.
Bridging Faith and Community
Calvary Christian School is thoughtfully advancing its plans to serve both students and the surrounding community with care. Through ongoing dialogue with neighbors, community leaders, and local officials, we have refined our site plan to ensure it reflects a responsible and community-minded approach.
-
In response to feedback from neighbors and specific requests from Palm Beach County officials, we have implemented the following project adjustments to address community concerns.
Reduced Building Size: The overall facility has been scaled back by 11,322 square feet – an 8% reduction from our June 2025 proposal.
Lower Enrollment Capacity: Student enrollment has been reduced by 200 students – a 17% decrease – bringing the total capacity to 975 students.
Expanded Natural Habitat Buffers: The buffer has increased from 20 feet to 50 feet – a 250% increase – providing enhanced visual screening and separation.
Optimized Parking: Parking has been reduced by 9% which still provides more than the required number of spaces to prevent overflow.
-
We are committed to minimizing traffic impact and enhancing roadway safety through thoughtful infrastructure and operational planning. Our approach includes strategic roadway improvements and on-site traffic flow, such as dedicated turn lanes and ample queuing capacity, to ensure a safe and smooth traffic pattern for everyone on Rocky Pines Road.
Roadway Enhancements: Rocky Pines Road will be upgraded to local commercial standards, including the addition of a dedicated left-turn lane into the south entrance.
Intersection Improvements: Dedicated turn lanes, both left and right, will be added for northbound traffic at the intersection of Rocky Pines and Indiantown Road.
On-Site Queuing: Four internal drop-off lanes will accommodate traffic on campus, preventing backups onto public roads.
Staggered Scheduling & Transportation: Staggered start times for middle and high school students, along with a coordinated shuttle plan, will reduce peak traffic and single-vehicle trips.
-
We have made intentional decisions to protect the quiet and peaceful nature of the surrounding neighborhood:
No Field Lighting: The field will not have stadium lighting.
No PA System: No outdoor public address system will be installed for field use.
Our Mission Remains Unchanged
While our plans have been refined, our primary purpose still remains. Calvary Christian School will provide a Christ-centered education that develops the whole child, spiritually, academically, and practically. We are committed to:
A Biblical Foundation: Integrating God’s truth into every aspect of learning and student life.
Real-World Readiness: Equipping students with meaningful skills for future careers, leadership, and service.
Community Partnerships: Strengthening the Jupiter Farms community as a respectful, collaborative, and positive presence.

In April 2025, we started our application to the county to build a new school here in our neighborhood.
We believe God is calling us to provide a Christ-centered education that meets a critical need in our community – offering both academic excellence and vocational programs like agricultural training, on-site business labs, and career technical training.
As we move forward, your support makes all the difference. Whether you feel called to pray, give, or partner with us in other ways, we are grateful to have you with us on this journey.
With God, anything is possible!
