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.
But what we are committing to and what is the end Goal and where does our relationship with Christ fit in? Jesus Christ wants us to be committed as well. He desires our commitment. I had to ask myself, when is the last time I said “Lord, I am committing this to you, I am committing everything to you.” I have been committed to my wife, kids, school, but what about our relationship with Christ? In Proverbs we read that if we commit our work to the Lord, our plans will succeed. That does NOT say WE WILL WIN, but we will be successful. When we choose Christ, we are guaranteed the ultimate victory with Him in the end.
Committing everything to the Lord, that is a tall task when we feel pressured from the outside world. Christ doesn't just want the one and done in us, He asks for Everything. Everything we do, Everything we are, everything about us needs to be completely Committed to Christ. You can look at it and say Wow! That might sound like a lot to ask, but it is the only way to be totally committed to Christ. Because when we Commit to Christ, everything else seems to fall into place and we are not alone. As a Coach, I know and understand the Commitment level that I demand from my players, but I am also learning that the Commitment Level that we give to Christ should be way more paramount. The question is, How Committed are we to Christ? We know from his promise to us that he is %100 Committed to us!
