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.
Congratulations, Ericka Brown! Ericka recently completed her Masters degree in Early Childhood Education Leadership just 18 months after completing her Bachelor's degree from Ashford University.
Ericka serves as the Head of Calvary’s Early Learning Center and is mother to Elijah, a rising 3rd grader at Calvary. Ericka’s love for children and education started at a young age when she would practice teaching her cousins, resorting to stuffed animals when they had enough. In addition to those roles, Ericka also serves as the Preschool Director on Sunday for Calvary Baptist.
We are extremely proud of Ericka’s determination to broaden her knowledge in Early Childhood Education and her commitment to Calvary. Ericka says, “This journey was hard as a single mom. I worked as a TESOL teacher teaching English to children in China while obtaining my Masters to gain experiences and broaden my scope. As the Head of Early Learning, I will continue to show that dedication to develop the whole student in our youngest Cavaliers.”
We look forward to Ericka’s leadership in the Early Learning Center that illustrates her love for God, the students and her profession. Well done, Ericka, and thank you for serving God here!
