About Calvary’s Pre-engineering and Space Science Class (PESS) and Partnership with Quest for Space:
This PESS class is uniquely designed with the incorporation of pre-engineering studies and the partnership with CCS, NASA, and the Quest Institute of Valley Christian School in San Jose, California. This partnership ultimately gives CCS students the opportunity to create and send into orbit an experiment they have created in the classroom at CCS. Calvary Christian School is one of only five schools worldwide in the 2019 launch.
