Parent Testimonials

“My daughter started preschool at Calvary last year. She is generally slow to warm up and takes her time with people. I was surprised at how quickly she adapted and looked forward to attending school. She could not wait to get back to school after the summer. As a parent, I appreciate how much she has grown socially and how much she is learning academically. I also enjoy the school’s openness and the many opportunities parents have to plug in and get involved. This school has been an answer to our prayers.”

-Jackie M.

“Calvary Episcopal Preparatory has been a blessing for our family. We love that our children have an excellent place to learn in a faith-based, accepting, and diverse setting. Whether they’re in PreK or High School, the faculty and staff can put a name to every face. It is reassuring to know that our children will always have someone there to help them grow in mind, body, and spirit.”

-Jennifer H.

“Because of the small classes, this does not feel like just a school but a community. A family.  Everyone knows everyone, so it is comforting to know that your child is a person, not a number.  Students are taught “outside the box” at an accelerated level. Students are challenged and encouraged to think, reason, and Express their thoughts and opinions.  Students are not taught to “pass a test.” Without any hesitation, my husband and I recommend Calvary Episcopal Preparatory to anyone looking for an exceptional school with exceptional staff and an enriching environment.”

-Barry & Theresa B.

“My daughter started kindergarten this last year, and it was her first ever school experience. She loved it! I have never seen a young child so in love with the school. All the staff, all the children, and all the other families are wonderful and make this school amazing.”

-Tim W.

“Love it! My daughter Loves it! I love it! Great staff, parents, and Education!”

“One of the most important aspects of Calvary is its emphasis on faith. Our children have grown closer to God through the school’s spiritual programs and chapel services.

The academics at Calvary are truly outstanding. The rigorous curriculum has prepared our children not only for college but also for the challenges of adulthood. The teachers are dedicated and knowledgeable, fostering a love of learning and providing individualized attention to each student.”  

“This is the fourth year at Calvary for my little Crusader. These are crazy times that we live in and so many schools are incredibly overcrowded. Every day I have peace of mind knowing that my child is at a small school, in small classes with caring teachers and attentive administrators. Calvary encourages parent involvement in a Christian atmosphere. I enjoy volunteering and being part of the Calvary family.”
“My family and I are so Happy with Calvary Episcopal Preparatory!
I don’t think we could have found a better school for our daughter.
Our youngest is entering her third year at Calvary this year. As a parent there is no better knowledge than to know your child is getting a fantastic education with wonderful teachers who engage and truly care. Not only has she excelled in reading, writing, spelling, science and math, but her self esteem and belief in God has continued to grow.”
“There are not enough positive words to say about Calvary!! Both of my girls attended Calvary starting in Pre-k. The education they received has prepared them well for high school and college. The teachers, staff and administration are AMAZING!! I HIGHLY recommend Calvary!! Love this school!!”
“Our 3 children have thrived at Calvary in elementary and middle. At Calvary, each of my children have been able to shine with the small class sizes, the Christian atmosphere and excellent teachers. We have never regretted the sacrifice to send our kids to this wonderful school!”
“Calvary is a wonderful school with great staff. The small class size is perfect and I love that my students knows and is known by the teachers and staff.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose a small private school for my child?

Small schools provide a more personalized education where every student is known by name. With smaller class sizes, teachers can tailor instruction to meet individual needs. Students have greater opportunities for leadership, connection, and participation in a wide range of activities—academic, artistic, athletic, and spiritual. At a small school like Calvary, your child is never just a number—they’re family.

What is the difference between public and private schools?

Private schools are independently funded, allowing more flexibility in curriculum, class size, and teaching style. At Calvary, we provide a faith-based education that emphasizes character, responsibility, and community. Families choose us for our strong academics, moral grounding, and safe, nurturing environment. Unlike public schools, we are not bound by standardized testing mandates and can teach with both freedom and depth.

What can parents expect when they come on a school tour?

During your tour, you’ll walk the halls with one of our staff and experience life at Calvary. You’ll visit classrooms, meet teachers and students, and see how our values of reverence, respect, and responsibility come to life. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, discuss your child’s unique needs, and explore how Calvary can support your family’s educational goals.

What can students expect when they shadow for a day?

Student shadow days are designed to make your child feel welcome and engaged. They’ll be paired with a student ambassador and attend classes, eat lunch with peers, and participate in campus life. Many students tell us they “just knew” Calvary was the right place after their shadow visit—it’s where they felt seen, valued, and excited to learn.

What does it mean when you say Calvary feels like a family?

We believe students thrive when they feel safe, supported, and known. From Pre-K3 through 12th grade, every student is part of a close-knit, faith-centered community. Teachers go beyond academics to nurture each child’s growth, and students support one another across grade levels. One of our graduates said it best in her Valedictorian Speech — “we are not just classmates, we’re truly a family.”

Is financial aid or tuition assistance available?

Yes. Calvary is committed to making a high-quality education accessible. We offer need-based financial aid and work with families to find a path forward. We encourage all families to apply regardless of income.

How does Calvary support spiritual growth?

Calvary is an Episcopal school, grounded in Christian values. We offer regular chapel services, Christian Character Education, Bible classes, and service learning, while welcoming students of all faith backgrounds. Our goal is to help students develop a moral compass rooted in reverence for God, respect for others, and responsibility for self.

What grade levels does Calvary Episcopal Preparatory serve?

We are a PK3 through 12th grade school, which means your child can grow with us from their first day of school to their high school graduation. Our school structure allows for continuity, long-term friendships, and mentorship between age groups.

What is the admissions process like at Calvary Episcopal Preparatory?

Our admissions process is personalized and thoughtful. It begins with a campus tour, followed by an application and an assessment. We take time to get to know each student—not just on paper, but as a person—and work with families to ensure a good fit both academically and spiritually.

How does Calvary prepare students for college and beyond?

Calvary graduates are well-rounded, faith-grounded, and academically strong. Our college-prep curriculum includes AP and dual-credit courses, leadership opportunities, service learning, and spiritual development. Our students graduate with confidence—and on average, our seniors receive just under $300,000 in college scholarship offers per student.

What kind of community service or leadership opportunities are available?

Service learning is a key part of the Calvary experience—from PK3 through 12th grade, all students participate in service projects annually. High school students are required to complete 30 hours of service per year to graduate, and those who complete 40 hours annually earn a special service cord. Leadership and compassion go hand in hand at Calvary.

What extracurricular activities and sports are offered?

We offer a wide variety of extracurriculars, including athletics, fine arts, student government, academic competitions, spirit teams, and faith-based service groups. Because we’re a small school, students don’t have to “specialize”—they’re encouraged to explore multiple interests and take on leadership roles.

Do you offer before- or after-school care?

Yes, we provide extended care options for both lower and middle school students. This service is available to help support working families with a safe and structured environment beyond the traditional school day.

Is Calvary Episcopal Preparatory affiliated with a church?

Yes, Calvary is a mission of Calvary Episcopal Church. Our beautiful sanctuary is an integral part of the school’s spiritual life, and the church community actively supports and uplifts our students through prayer, participation, and generosity.

How do parents stay involved at Calvary?

Parents are an essential part of our community. From volunteering in the classroom to serving on the CPTO, helping with events, or cheering at games and performances, Calvary parents are deeply engaged. You won’t be on the outside looking in—you’ll be part of the heartbeat of the school.

What makes Calvary different from other private schools?

While many schools offer academics and activities, Calvary offers something more: spiritual growth, a true sense of belonging, and a mission-centered culture. Our students are known, loved, and challenged to be their best selves—in school and in life.
