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.
On Friday, May 7th, Calvary Day School joined together as students, parents, faculty, and staff were finally able to fellowship in person at Spring Fling. We have many things to celebrate as our school year comes to an end, one of those being the STEM and Nature Center, which was added to our campus to enhance the learning experience for all of our students. We welcomed these new additions to Calvary Day School at Spring Fling with a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Calvary STEM and Nature Center and the completion of the first 3 phases of the outdoor activity and future horticulture and aquaponic area. Today we are proud to be the home of the largest turf play center as well as the only school permitted Georgia Wildlife Exhibition program.
Natalie Helbling, STEM teacher and Nature Center Coordinator, has been an integral asset throughout the creation of the Nature Center, “I was so happy to welcome our community members into our new edition of Calvary’s STEM program. It was exciting to see parents and siblings finally meet all of our animal ambassadors and watch them become more comfortable around some of our students' favorite reptiles!” We would like to thank everyone who helped make this a reality for our students! “This space is such a unique educational opportunity for our students and families. As our STEM program continues to grow, this addition provides a place for integration and collaboration used by all grade levels and subject areas, where Calvary students can learn and enjoy God’s incredible creation!” Sandy Hunt, Director of Academics and Special Programs.
