Calvary Schools’ approach to high school is different from a traditional school in that our greatest value remains on growth, engagement, and doing work well. Class sizes are intentionally small, and students take responsibility for the mental and physical work set before them daily.

Calvary’s high school offers varied coursework, as is consistent with a Charlotte Mason approach. All students are working at growing in their relationship with all subjects. Coursework for high school students includes the humanities seminar (Bible, literature, poetry, history, and art/composer/nature studies), science, mathematics, choir, physical conditioning (PE), visual arts, language study, etc. High school students read books in narrative form wherever possible, including many of the traditional literary greats.Textbooks are used in some courses, such as mathematics and science.

Worship is an important aspect of Calvary high school, including worship through music, service, prayer, and reflection times. Calvary students worship together weekly through our chapel and Service Practica programs.
