The heart of the lower school is obvious: to cherish each child and provide them with the educational and spiritual platforms to soar.

Our lower school classrooms are permeated with excellence. Calvary is proud to incorporate smartboards, computers, tablets and Chromebooks into teaching toolkits. Not only do students have the latest in 1:1 technology, but technology is effectively utilized by enthusiastic teachers to create lifelong learners.
All students are given weekly instruction in physical education, art, music, Mandarin, library and Bible by certified specialists. The excitement of learning is evident in Calvary's classrooms as students creativity flourishes through abundant hands-on activities. Learning through these experiences emphasizes concentration and teamwork. Following Christ's example in Luke 2:52 is the cornerstone at Calvary: focusing on physical, intellectual, spiritual, and social growth. Calvary's staff is wholly committed to providing the best Christian education in the greater Savannah area.
