At John L. Coble Elementary School, we exist to inspire leadership, service, character, and academic excellence—rooted in a personal walk with Jesus. Every subject, every project, and every relationship is an opportunity to grow in wisdom and love.
Coble Elementary School is located in Calhoun, Georgia and is operated by the Seventh‑day Adventist Church to provide a spiritually oriented education for children of all faith backgrounds.

Lishcia Keizer, Parent“As a Coble parent, I always felt that I had a voice and felt welcome to be involved in many ways. I am grateful that my girls attended a school in which I was encouraged to be a part of their experience. Throughout our years at Coble, the events and activities were a priority in our lives and we felt we experienced their elementary years as a family.”
