Technology

At Calvary Day School, technology is thoughtfully integrated to enrich academic excellence and prepare students to impact the world for Christ.

Christ-Centered Learning in a Digital World

Calvary Day School embraces technology as a powerful tool to enhance learning and prepare students to lead and serve in an increasingly digital world. Rooted in a biblical worldview, our approach helps students develop discernment, responsibility, and excellence as they use technology to explore ideas, collaborate, and solve real-world problems through a Christ-centered lens.

In the Lower School, technology is thoughtfully integrated to support hands-on, interactive learning, with tools such as SmartBoards and Chromebooks to enrich instruction. In the Upper School, our 1:1 Chromebook program equips students with essential tools for research, communication, and productivity, preparing them for college, careers, and life as faithful stewards of God’s gifts in the 21st century.

Chromebooks

It is the utmost desire of Calvary Day School to lead our 1:1 Chromebook program to honor the Lord Jesus Christ. Our goal is to help teach and train children to be Christian leaders in an ever growing technology centered world by giving them a competitive 21st century global education. These policies and guidelines are designed for the protection of your children. We want to partner with you in teaching our students proper digital citizenship.
