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.
As we head into Winter sports at Calvary, we continue to have to figure out how to manage Covid. With Basketball, Wrestling, Competition Cheer, and Swim underway, they all look a little different than the years past. When you walk into Tippett Gym for a Basketball game, you will notice the bench staggered and spread out on each side. You will see coaches, players, and fans masked and appropriately distanced. Our Competition cheer team is competing in winter for the first time ever due to their season being pushed back. Our swim coaches have had to get creative on how they practice and prepare for meets due to limited pool training, including more dryland practices and staggering different groups of swimmers at the aquatic center. Wrestling has gone to great lengths in sanitization and partner training to ensure player safety.
Even through all of the precautions, plans, and changes, the coaches and players have the same attitude, they are thankful they still get to participate in the sport they love. We are grateful for a successful and safe fall season. The boys Cross Country team captured their 1st Region Championship in school history. Also, both the girls and boys teams qualified for the State Championships in Carrollton, GA. The Volleyball team had a great season and made it to the Elite 8 in the GHSA state tournament. Softball had great senior leadership pour into the younger girls and ended the season on a high note. Girls Varsity Flag football’s inaugural season has been very successful. They finished first in their Area and are competing on Saturday in the GHSA Elite 8 at home. Varsity football continues to march far into the postseason, traveling to Sharpsburg, GA for a Final Four matchup vs. Trinity Christian this Friday night. Even though this year has looked uncommon, it has still been an awesome school year! #CDSUnCommon #GoCavs
