Mt. Calvary is an outstanding school I have a unique perspective, being a parent and a high school teacher at D.B.H.S. Mt. Calvary staff is extremely supportive of parents' and children's concerns. The education is excellent. I have had students from Mt. Calvary in my classroom at D.B.H.S. If the

I'm disappointed by the way teachers interact with the children. Seeing teachers, in terms of all the influence they have on young children, I believe it's important to maintain a certain level of understanding, ethics, maturity, and commitment. I don't think it's appropriate to tell a 4 year old
