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.

In order to fund this project without increasing tuition, we are hosting Dancing with the Calvary Stars on February 9th, 2019 at 5:30 pm in the Tippet Gymnasium. The proceeds from the event will support the security initiative on our campus. The Saturday evening will begin with dinner provided by Tin Fin Restaurant. Then our show will open with a performance by the Calvary Kindergarten students. Others dancing in the event are:

Tap routine performed by Trisha Daniels, Kayley Jacobs, Kimberly Jacobs, Cassidy Lance Willard, Donna Dauphinee, and Tiffany Nichols Purnell
The five judges will award a Top Dancer, and the Top Fundraiser will be announced at the end of the night. After the last dancer has completed their three minute routine, voting will open up for the Viewer’s Choice Award. The performances will be videoed and posted online for those unable to attend to view. During the next 24 hours, fans will have the chance to vote for the dancer they think had the best performance. Each vote costs $1. The Viewer’s Choice Award will be announced live on social media Sunday night from the Calvary Cafeteria at 6 pm on February 10th.
