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.
Students at Calvary have always had the utmost love and respect for our very own, Coach Brantley. When his Senior Government and Economics class heard of his one and only Christmas wish, they knew exactly what they had to do.
Pastor Kenny Grant preached a sermon one Sunday in a purple suit. This inspired Coach Brantley to want a purple suit of his own. Mrs. Brantley kindly let Coach Brantley know that he most likely could not pull off a purple suit like Pastor Grant, but he could rock a purple sports coat.
As Christmas time approached, Coach Brantley’s class kept asking him what he wanted for Christmas. Coach Brantley responded time after time by saying that he didn’t want anything for Christmas, because he had all he needed. The students continued to ask Coach Brantley, so he finally told them that he wanted a purple sports coat.
It didn’t take long for the students to rally together and get Coach Brantley a giftcard to Men’s Warehouse so he could get his purple sports coat. Coach Brantley was so surprised! When he went to Men’s Warehouse, the staff told Coach Brantley how respectful and mature the students were when they came in to purchase the gift card.
We are so blessed to have a community where students and faculty can come together and share moments like these. Teaching goes beyond curriculum; it’s about creating relationships with students so they have a safe environment to learn and grow. Thank you, Coach Brantley, for all you do at Calvary Day School! A huge thank you to Coach Brantley’s Senior Government and Economics class for gifting him an awesome purple sports coat to rock on campus!
