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.
Calvary is no stranger to me. I began my journey here in 1994, my first day of middle school. I was nervous to start a new school with new faces and an unfamiliar territory. I was quickly welcomed by friendly teachers and an atmosphere I found easy to adjust to. I was introduced not only to a new level of education, but also to the importance of a spiritual life as well. I graduated from Calvary in 2000, and now seventeen years later, I find myself back again.
It was an easy decision for my husband and I to put our two daughters here. We are blessed that the Lord worked out every detail to allow us to do so. Though it is indeed a sacrifice, we cannot think of a better place for them to be than here at Calvary. The teachers not only challenge them daily in the classroom but also demonstrate the importance of living a Christ-centered life. It is good to be back home with my Calvary family. Once a Cavalier, always a Cavalier.
