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.
“Be still and know that I am God” is the first part of Psalm 46:10. We all go through storms and what seems like controlled chaos in our lives: rescheduling games, injuries, moved practice locations, or even a busted pipe on the Football Field. The frustrations can get a bit tiring. When we remind ourselves that we are not in control and in the rare occasions that we think we are, the “Be Still” part is the most helpful. Just to stop for a minute; seek time to know God. With the demands that we all put on ourselves and the demands that our student-athletes face, it is imperative to realize that time spent with God is the most compelling. It creates a balance and allows us the stability to keep our oars in the water and keep paddling. The second part of the verse is: “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted among the earth.” We have to remember that what we do, we do for God’s glory, not our own. We can easily get caught up in what the world tells us is important, like rankings, stats, or accolades. What we can do is to stay humble, have a servant's heart, and love each other and our teammates. These are the things that will show God is a part of our lives and that we are anchored in his love.
