Admissions Process

Thank you for considering Calvary Day School as a partner in your child's journey to make a meaningful impact in the world for Jesus Christ. At Calvary, we foster a learning environment with small class sizes where each student is known and valued. Our approach emphasizes personalized learning to help students discover their passions, cultivate their God-given talents, and achieve their full potential. Our education offers a unique and enriching experience like no other.

The Successful Applicant

As with most competitive academic schools, not every family who applies can be admitted. We partner with Christian families in the educational process of their children. A successful Calvary student:

Demonstrates strong academic acumen where they are performing at or above grade level
Models Christian character before adults and peers
Is well-rounded and involved in co-curricular activities (e.g., sports, fine arts, STEM)
Pre-Kindergarten students must be four years of age by September 1 and Kindergarten students must be five years of age by September 1, to enroll in their respective grade

The application process for Calvary Day School is a two-phase process.

Phase 1

Complete the online application (a $150 application fee is required)
Upload required documents on the Admissions Checklist (received upon receipt of application)
Complete a Financial Aid Application (as needed)
Schedule academic testing through the Admissions Office

Phase 2 (Optional)

Opportunity to participate in a Shadow Day (students applying for grades 6 through 12)

Once Phase 2 is complete, you will be notified of your admission decision.

Upon acceptance, families will be instructed to log in to their application portal to review their enrollment offer. For families who have applied for financial aid, this will include any financial aid or discounts awarded as well.

There is a $500 new student fee that will show as part of your enrollment offer. This new student fee will be included in your student billing.

If you need assistance in the application process or have additional questions about Calvary Day School, please call (912) 351-0700 or email admissions@calvarydayschool.com.

Relocating & International Families

Relocating Families
Relocation can be an exciting, but stressful, experience. There are many reasons that you may be relocating and if your move involves children, it can be even more challenging. We are here to help you! We understand that out-of-town families may have scheduling constraints and we hope to facilitate a smooth application process as well as give you the opportunity to visit our school. Please let us know your timeline well in advance so we can make the proper arrangements.

International Families
Calvary Day School policy requires that any international student interested in attending Calvary reside locally with a parent, stepparent, or legal guardian. Additionally, international students have the option to live with a host family, though it's important to note that Calvary is not affiliated with any international student programs that facilitate the admission process.

Additionally, the I-20 process will be started once the student has been enrolled. Once the student has been enrolled, Calvary can issue the student’s I-20. International students are subject to an international student fee. International students will also pay a SEVIS fee online to Customs & Immigration when they apply for their visa.

If your child is a non-U.S. citizen and you meet the criteria above, please follow the application process as a domestic applicant through the Calvary admission process. Please call the Admission Office at (912) 351-0700 if you have any questions.
