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.
This program is to honor not only those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy, but also to honor those who came together under a spirit of unity to help and serve. Please join our 4th grade classes in celebrating the men and women who gave their lives that day and to those that continue to protect our nation each and every day.
Dear Parents of Fourth Grade,
September 11, 2017 marked the 16th anniversary of the twin tower tragedy. To honor the heroes from that day the fourth grade will present a patriotic program, “A Star-Spangled Production”, on the morning of September 22nd at 9:00am in the Choir Room, building A. We would love for you to attend!
We have been discussing the founding of our country, our constitution, the flag, as well as the events leading up to September 11, 2001. We’re ending our program with how a nation can have God’s blessing by following His Word. In this day and age we are more and more aware of how much America needs God! And of course, we have lots of good patriotic music we’ve been learning.
Students are to wear jeans and either a solid red, white, or blue (navy) shirt. They may come dressed that way for school and stay in that outfit for the remainder of the day. Most of them have lines they should be memorizing and all have songs they should be learning as well.
We will be in full production mode next week. Mr. Bielec told the students to practice their lines at least 7 times with someone to make sure they are completely memorized. We really appreciate your help with that! Let us know if you have any questions.
