Studebaker Elementary School

Calvary is an wonderful place for any student to grow. Our children started here in late elementary and middle school. From the very beginning they were in a remarkably supportive environment. Not perfect but they genuinely care about every student. The curriculum is solid, and every teacher our children had, from the Sciences to the Arts, was deeply passionate about their subject. Our daughter recently graduated with honors, feeling so thoroughly prepared that her transition to college has been unusually smooth and is thriving. While our daughter was recruited by her University as an athlete she received a full ride scholarship due to her academics, and now plays at the collegiate level. The dual enrollment classes offered are in partnership with Hope International University are a great opportunity for your child to get a leg up on college. The course options are a great preparation for what to expect in college. We couldn't be more grateful for the foundation this school provided. Our son unfortunately did not get to finish out his high school years @ Calvary only because we moved out of state. However, he is thriving and confident and has transitioned nicely to his new school. The activities the kids can be involved in; Sports, Musical Performance/Choir and Clubs are great. Just ask anyone about the School Musicals, they are fantastic professional level productions. Kudos to Dr. Goodner and her amazing support staff. They take the education of our children seriously and have invested greatly into updating the school in labs, equipment, playgrounds for the elementary, new seating for the gymnasium and they are always looking for ways to improve. No school is perfect, but we believe that you get what you are willing to put in to your environment. When any issues arose we were able to have meetings, discuss issues openly, respectfully, and solutions were put into place. We experienced support with grace and encouragement. We appreciated all the opportunities our children had available to serve the community and our only regret is that we didn't start them at Calvary even sooner. If you send your child/children to Calvary do your best to be involved, go to the open houses, support the sports teams, homecoming game is awesome. Attend the Christmas musical and the bi-annual School Musical productions, you wont be disappointed and you will gain many friendships along the way.

The best school ever. My son atended this school from preK to 1st grade. I’m so sad that the school doesn’t open this school year due to not enough students. Hopefully the school continues to open next year. The principal, every each teacher, daycare teachers they all so loving and care students. One of the teacher prays for each kid every morning. Learning is also great my school just tested for another private school, and all subjects he got way above the grade he will attend. So grateful for teachers. Plus I never heard about bullying in this school. Bigger kids always take care of younger ones too.
