Calvary has been the greatest place ever for my child. He is challenged by the accelerated curriculum and I could not ask for better teachers! I also like that every day starts with chapel, and that there is physical activity built into schedule.

As a parent, I am glad that I have found a place where my child loves to go to school and is eager to learn. As a public school administrator, I am saddened that I have to pay for my child to get this type of high quality education that should be afforded to all. My son performs well above his same aged

This is a wonderful school. I spent 17 years working in public school before I found this little jewel. High academic program, great teachers and kids. Students are taught well above grade level. Outstanding leadership. Has a waiting list in some grades.

Calvary has very high expectations for its students and an accelerated curriculum. The teachers really care about the students and work very hard to help them achieve. My child has learned so much in one year and can't wait to return next year.

I've seen Calvary Episcopal School evolve over 30 years beginning as a 1st grade student. The curriculum included enhancements such as music, art, Spanish classes and field trips, as today. I tested high in national tests and was in a superior position academically. The school stopped at 4th grade,

When I left Calvary, I was past the 6th grade students of the other school in many areas, but due to the lack of advanced opportunities, my 'lead' slipped. My child is now a Pre-K student at Calvary Episcopal. I see even more of the supportive atmosphere that I now know is extra-ordinary. He has advanced quickly and is nurtured by all staff. I appreciate the goal that every child that can handle the work will be able to attend. Calvary's a blessing. Read less

Academic program is equal to average to above-average classes one would have found in public schools circa pre-1990's. In years past, this was considered a good christian alternative school, but by today's standards, it's now a 'prep' school for the academic elite. Don't get me wrong, this is a very

Calvary is great on academics and test performance, but lacking horribly in leadership. The majority of the teachers are excellent, but the bad ones are so bad they really reflect badly on the rest of the teachers.
