Calvary Christian Academy

In a typical day I monitored the playground, bathrooms, the lunchroom, and hallways. I assisted the children with learning proper social behavior, standard operational classroom procedures like: lining up, cleaning up, raising their hands, taking turns, and maintaining self-control. I circulated during classwork time, answering questions, explaining projects, encouraging them to stay on-task, praising them for work well-done etc. As well, I organized, corrected, and graded papers, designed and created bulletin boards.
My supervising teacher was always prepared, always calm, and very funny! If she was ever bothered by something, she never let an angry word come out of her mouth. She gave firm, consistent correction and discipline, but she never berated children. Also she was hilarious! The kids so enjoyed her, and she them. She taught all of us by example and we modeled her behavior. We were allowed to have our own personalities and she did not micro-manage us.
The hardest part of the job was doing playground duty in icy, snowy cold winter Wisconsin days. Not only was it cold, but getting the kids in and out of their snow gear was a pain, especially if they suddenly had to use the bathroom.
The most enjoyable part of the job was hearing the kids stories every day and seeing their unique personalities and talents blossom.

I greatly enjoyed working at Calvary Christian Academy and would be continuing to work there if I hadn't had to move away. The kids were great, my co-workers were friendly and efficient, and my boss was kind and fair and professional.

My typical day at work consisted of arriving early to do some administrative work in the office to prepare for the day. After the kids arrived, I supervised them until their teachers arrived and once they were separated into their groups, I took my kindergarteners for bathroom and snack. Afterwards was playground time for an hour before I took them back inside to work on homework. Then after that I would take them outside to wait for their parents to pick them up.

I loved working with these kids, my co-workers, and my boss. I never would've left if I could've stayed.

Calvary Christian Academy is one of the best Christian workplaces in Florida. They are among the best ranked Christian Schools in the country; providing students an excellent education. 

As an employee, they encourage work and soul-keeping balance. The management team are humble and collaborate together to ensure that CCA is achieving high standards for their students and staff. Serving the Head of School as an Administrative Assistant I enjoyed working alongside professional leaders who inspire you to grow and be a life-long learner personally and professionally. I truly have enjoyed my time at CCA. and would highly recommend CCA as an employer.

A typical day at Calvary Christian Academy starts out with greeting students and preparing for the teaching all subjects with the exception of physical education and computer. I teach seven and one-half hours per day and serve as an after school instructor for 2 hours and forty-five minutes five days per week. Along with teaching on a daily bases, I act as co-sponsor of the garden /ecology club twice per week. At the end of the day, each teacher is stationed at different locations on the campus where we serve as monitors during afternoon recess.

The school is very family-friendly. There was a great principal, always encouraging and looking to help teachers do their jobs better. When he left, the new principal was very negative. She only sent emails to say what teachers were doing wrong. She got parent complaints and did not allow teachers to meet with the parents, to resolve the complaints. She made sure 1/2 the junior high/HS staff left within her first year. Fortunately for CCA, she and the other administrators were removed 6 months into her second year. The school is great, staff is wonderful. but the admin when I was there had some issues. Teachers are really wonderful, however and really care about their students. A great place to send your child to learn.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Ministering to student daily. There are also opportunities for professional growth.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes specials are canceled. Diesnr happen all the times, but when it does it's stressful. If specials are canceled, that because there aren't any available subs. But admin works hard to avoid canceled 
specials.

CCA is a family atmosphere. Your students and all the faculty and staff feel like a family. I enjoyed working for this company.

The firmer director , always moving kids around and working with individuals that refused to change diapers if needed. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It depended on the day. With someone new in charge now it may be totally different. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Confiding and hard to plan. But like stated someone new is in that seat now do it may be better

I’ve never worked at a better school. It’s hard work there’s no doubt about it. But that’s because they care to make sure the students are learning and most importantly being ministered to. They also care for the teachers support, sanity, and spiritual walk. I met beautiful people there. And miss that work place often. The employee discount fir their kids is also a huge blessing. As for pay it wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t memorable. You’re still getting teacher pay. But in my opinion the rest of what the job brings it’s worth it to work there even with teacher salary. 

I have advanced to Admissions Assistant currently. There is a lot of paper work that goes into my job, but I do find it satisfying once I've made it through a large stack. My job is to organize all the files and make sure everyone has what they need. Because my job is to organize I find it frustrating when others, mainly the head of school, is unorganized. I don't always have enough work to do because I am efficient with the time I have, but I am not allowed to leave early so I must find odd jobs to do. I love the family in my office, but I know that it is time for change.

A typical day at this job is more than amazing. I learn to deal with children and their daily changing ways and attitude this was definitely quiet the learning experience it taught me how to also deal with my own children. The management there is incredible Christian based the teachers are lovely, friendly and helpful. The hardest part of this job was watching a child feeling defeated due to a subject matter or just outside challenges but I learned to tell them your never alone,I am here to help you. The most enjoyable part is watching the students end a day feeling accomplished.
