The pictures below capture some of the spirit of the pre-K through 8th grade environment. You will see 7th graders and Pilot Class students playing together on the field. I will let the pictures speak for themselves, and I hope they "move" you as they moved me.

We Are One School
Calvert School has two divisions--a Lower School and a Middle School--but we are one school. We are united in our mission, and we firmly believe in the benefits of the pre-K through 8th grade model, of which there are many: the full focus of the school's attention, expertise, and resources are on Lower and Middle School only; our Middle School students have tremendous leadership, academic, and athletic opportunities; our Middle School students serve as role models for the younger, Lower School students; and, our 8th graders choose a high school when it is only five months away, thereby ensuring they will enter the school that is the right fit for them. (As a side note, and I will report more on this later, we had another outstanding year of Upper School placement!)
