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.
That is exactly what we would like to provide to our children. We have always wanted to raise our children with a love for Christ, and Calvary is a wonderful place to do this. From the time students begin at Calvary until they graduate, they are surrounded by amazing people who are teaching them about Christ. For me, those are the people I want to surround my children with and to be their role models. Calvary has a wonderful curriculum that helps students excel in school and in the outside world. We have certainly seen a growth in Kaiden since beginning Calvary this year. We enjoy that there are smaller class sizes and our child doesn’t become “just another face” at Calvary. As Kaiden grows up, we would like him to become involved in activities whether it may be athletics, the fine arts, community service/ missions, or academics. Calvary provides many opportunities for him to do this. Few people can say their school offers mission work to their students or even say their school has a variety of school activities for their students to be a part of. With us being a part of this wonderful Calvary family as students ourselves, when choosing where to send our son and soon our daughter for school, Calvary was the natural choice.
