Early Education (K3 & K4)
In our Early Education Department (K3 & K4), your child will be challenged through a balanced approach for educational development. Our talented teachers are committed to providing a loving, nurturing, safe environment where children can learn, explore and pray. In age-appropriate, structured classes, children gather the “building blocks” for their educational success. God’s love for each child as His special, unique creation is demonstrated through the words and actions of a caring Christian teacher. His love for your child is affirmed through daily Bible instruction, prayer, Scripture memorization, along with exciting weekly chapel programs.

Elementary (Kindergarten – 4th)
Elementary school at Calvary provides students with a sound preparation for higher education.
Emphasis continues to be placed on instruction in a Christian environment, which begins in our Preschool Department. Elementary teachers strive to foster a supportive atmosphere giving students the opportunity to develop independence and self-confidence while challenging them to think critically and to solve problems. Consideration is given to the development and nurture of the whole child — spiritually, academically, physically, emotionally, and socially.
5th & 6th Grade Academy
5th & 6th Grade Academy is designed to meet the specific developmental needs of the 5th and 6th grade student as they transition from Lower School to Upper School. Students will be introduced to the basics of organization, time management, and study skills which are crucial for success in Middle and High school. For the first time, students will have the opportunity to choose and explore a variety of elective classes. The faculty and staff are passionate about this age and committed to helping make this critical transition a positive one.
Spiritual Development
Scripture is the foundation for all subjects and is integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Weekly chapels are a highlight of the week and also reflect the desire to transition students from elementary to middle school. Students will have a combined chapel with middle school students two times a month and then have their own unique chapel the remainder of the time. There will be monthly small group sessions to allow students to discuss what they have been learning in chapel.

What Others are Saying
Calvary Prepared me Spiritually for College!
"Calvary prepared me spiritually for college and the real world beyond. Coming from another culture, faith helped me to choose my friends wisely and stay on a good path. I was able to withstand the major pressures of life. It also gave me hope, hope that in the States I would become successful to support and see my parents here with me." -Emmanuel Nkoueleue, Class of 2003
Calvary prepared me for my path in life…
"Calvary prepared me for my path in life because I spent many years in the choir with Mrs. Angie Bacon. Not only did taking dance classes since I was three years old begin my love for Theatre, but being a part of Calvary's choir through much of my time here did as well. At Calvary, I always found myself doing something I loved whether that was being in the choir, or decorating for homecoming and prom, serving as yearbook advisor during my senior year, or simply just talking to Mr. Yarbrough about life."
-Amanda Crane, Class of 2014
