College. "Because of my education at Calvary, not only can I survive the academics at a top-notch school, but I’m
able to enjoy the learning experience because it builds on what I’ve already learned at Calvary." - Patterson Tompkins

I came to Calvary at the start of my sixth grade year and have been here ever since. I appreciate the challenge that my teachers have given me to reach my potential whether it is in the classroom, in the pool, or on the stage.

Calvary Day School was my “second home” from the ages of ten to eighteen. Within the walls of Calvary I learned what it meant to love God above all else, to love people, and to do everything for God’s glory.

I attended Calvary for high school from '03-'07. I came from a similar small private school structure so the coolest thing for me was that Calvary felt like a tight knit family from the very beginning.

Three years ago our family was the typical American family living and working like most of us do. But after adding our two Chinese sons through New Oasis International's partnership with CDS, our lives seem just a little different for the better. Calvary Day School gave us this opportunity and the impact it has had on our family will last a lifetime.

Through the experiences I had at Calvary as a student, my teachers and friends became family and now 20 years later, with two children of my own attending Calvary, I can say the same thing is still true. Calvary Day School has made a tremendous impact on my family and me. There's no better way to describe it – it's just a really special place!
