The admissions tour was a walk down memory lane for me. As we passed my childhood second grade classroom, I remembered dancing to songs about God’s creation. The cafeteria brought lunch memories of Chick-fil-a and coke days that are still a part of the Calvary experience. As we toured the hallways and classrooms, I could still hear my fourth grade teacher singing the multiplication tables, and I had memories of the best 12th grade AP literature teacher who, more than adequately, prepared me for all of my college English courses. I was able to get into the college of my choice largely because of the commitment that Calvary had made to my own academic success. Now, years later, that tradition of academic excellence still seemed to ring true.

We were also very impressed by the sports opportunities from baseball, football and track to cheer, volleyball, etc. With three children who all love to compete in organized sports, the fit for our family just seemed right. So, our family chose to become Cavaliers, and we have never regretted that decision.

My oldest is now a senior, my middle son a junior, and our daughter is in 7th grade. Without hesitancy ,I can say that Calvary has nurtured spiritual growth in all three of our children and has challenged them with the opportunity for academic success that far surpasses ordinary standards. It is difficult to entrust your children to any place for seven plus hours a day, but the Calvary staff, administration, and coaches have proven themselves to be committed to going beyond the necessary measures in demonstrating to students genuine kindness and the Christian character needed to make a difference in today’s world.

We were looking for a place to support our work at home of developing our children into world changers for Christ. Calvary became that place for us. I am extremely blessed to call Calvary Day School my school, the school of our children ,and in many ways HOME!
