Calvin Christian School is a coeducational, independent Kindergarten to Year 12 Christian school located just 12 kilometres south of Hobart, Tasmania in Kingston, at the head of the picturesque D’Entrecasteaux Channel and the Huon Valley. It is part of Christian Schools of Tasmania, a network of five schools around Hobart. It is owned and managed by an association, whose members are parents and past parents of students. Although initiated and supported by members of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia, the Church has no controlling influence, and the school community now includes many from other Christian backgrounds. Calvin Christian School was the first Christian parent-controlled school in Australia, founded in 1962 by members of the Dutch Reformed community living in and around Kingston. The founders of the school were a group of Christian parents who shared a desire to educate their children in a Christ-centred environment. The school campus was built without any government funding, with many of the construction workers being parents of future students, who volunteered their time and resources to bring the school into existence.〔(p. 13 )〕 Calvin Christian School is named after the Protestant reformer John Calvin. ==See also== * List of schools in Tasmania * Education in Tasmania 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calvin Christian School (Kingston, Tasmania)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
