Watersprings School
School Overview
Watersprings School is a Christian School dedicated to excellence. Our mission is to partner with Christian parents, by utilizing a Godly foundation of love, truth, and discipline to train our students spiritually, academically, physically and socially for a lifetime of glorifying and serving the Lord. We serve families with students in grades K-2 through seniors in high school.
School History
Watersprings School started in 1997 as Calvary Chapel Christian School with the desire to provide the Christian community with a Christ-centered school to disciple the children of believers in the ways of Jesus Christ. Here are a few facts about us;
From only a few initial students, our school has grown to more than 450 children from our preschool and elementary school, to Jr High and High School.
We have also expanded to two locations in Idaho Falls. Our Elementary School (infants through 5th Grade) is located at 4250 S. 25th E. (Hitt Road) in Idaho Falls and our Junior High and High School (6th-12th grades) are housed at 665 John Adams Parkway, Idaho Falls.
Our class size averages 17 students per teacher in the Elementary School, 20 per teacher in Junior High and 10 per class in High School. Our small class size allows us to offer a personal education experience for our students. The additional individualized attention allows students to master educational concepts more readily and it helps transform our interactions into meaningful mentor-learner relationships as the students get older.
In May 2010, Watersprings School went through the process to obtain accreditation for 6th-12th grades. Watersprings School is currently accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and AdvancED, the organization that accredits our local public schools. We began adding high school grades one at a time after that, and had our first graduating class in May 2014.
