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.
Grady Witherington Attends Leadership Conference in Washington D.C.

“I really enjoyed Envision! I met kids from all over the United States, and made friends with three from Virginia, Texas, and Arizona. We were divided into Leadership Focus Groups and the advisor for my group was Mrs. Richard from Wakanda, South Africa.
My favorite place we visited was the American History Museum where I particularly liked the History of Transportation exhibit. It was so cool! Our keynote speaker was Anthony Robles. Born with only one leg, he went on to win a National Championship in wrestling for Arizona State. He spoke about the importance of goal setting, character, and endurance. He said, “Commit and tell yourself you are unstoppable and then you can be unstoppable.”
We all spent the last night at the Maryland Science Center. We had the whole place to ourselves and had so much fun running around playing hide and seek and enjoying the interactive exhibits. This whole experience was great and I am thankful I was able to attend.”
