We are a community of learners and leaders where teaching and learning are stimulating, interesting, and Christ-centered. Students, staff, and parents are supportive of one another and work cooperatively to reach ever higher academic, social, emotional, and spiritual competencies. Differences are accepted and respected by students, staff, and parents. We follow many pathways to learning while sharing goals that unite us, a common core of knowledge, and a belief in biblical truths.
It is our desire to learn more about you and your family and how we may best serve your child. We seek to develop each student: academically, athletically, socially and most of all, spiritually. In turn, we are seeking students who want to integrate and fully invest in the school with their time and talent to obtain the most out of their experience here at Calvary Day School.
Our key verse at Calvary Day School is Luke 2:52, which states: “So Jesus grew both in height and in wisdom, and he was loved by God and by all who knew him.” For the Administration and educators of Calvary, this verse is a presentation of the guiding force behind everything we do. This verse encompasses the four components of a truly Christian philosophy of education: physical growth, intellectual growth, spiritual growth, and social/interpersonal growth.
At Calvary Day School, we are called to a higher mission. We infuse faith into our classrooms, clubs, gymnasiums, playing fields, etc.; in essence, into whatever is being done or taught. At Calvary we also pursue excellence in whatever we do. As a result of this internal pursuit of excellence, Calvary was recognized as the first charter member of the National Elementary Honor Society, and our students are accepted each year into some of the finest colleges and universities in the United States, with over half of these students typically receiving academic scholarships.
Since Calvary Day School opened its doors in 1961, it has been blessed with enormous support from those who seek to further the school’s mission of providing an academically challenging education in a uniquely Christian environment. Exceptional teachers, state-of-the-art facilities, and superior athletic venues are all possible because of the generous support of the Calvary family.
Mrs. Hunt graduated from Georgia College and State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and Criminal Justice. She has two kids, Parker and Millie, and her husband, Cameron, works at The Habersham School. Sandy is excited to be the director of Calvary's first STEM Program which will first be implemented in the middle school. Her goal for the STEM Program is to make it different from other STEM programs that exist in our area. She says, “It will be different not just in what we are doing or how we are doing it, but in why. I want the Calvary STEM program to challenge our students to innovatively solve real-world problems so that we may better serve and glorify the Lord.” STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math and is an open-styled curriculum that focuses on math and science but is also integrated into other subjects, like English, history, and art. The program allows students more flexibility and independence in the way they are taught and how they produce work. It involves a lot of collaborative brainstorming, critical thinking, and projects. She hopes to feed it into the lower school and high school in the near future as the program progresses. In all her classes, she prioritizes an integration of a biblical foundation in her teaching. Sandy is enthusiastic about the future of Calvary and the contribution she is going to make.
