Considering Calvert?

If you are, in fact, considering Calvert as a school for your child, I strongly encourage you to contact the Admission Office at 410-243-6054 x. 148. Our evaluation slots are rapidly filling up as we approach the application deadline of Friday, January 13, so I advise "not waiting" if you are thinking of us as a possible school for your son or daughter. This morning, we held our third "Considering Calvert" admission event of the season, and approximately 70 prospective parents attended. Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Admission Ambassadors continued to do a wonderful job speaking about their Calvert experiences and helping to tour the families around the campus. In my brief opening comments, I stressed Calvert's pre-K to 8th grade structure (affording our Middle School students greater leadership opportunities, among other advantages); the rigorous, challenging academic program; and the caring, nurturing community. In addition, I touched on "value" (our "bundled" tuition includes books, field trips, snack, and lunch, with no additional fees) and "values"--our four character "pillars" of respect, honor, compassion, and responsibility. Manning one of the tour stops, I had the chance to talk about extracurricular activities, interscholastic sports, fine and performing arts, clubs, as well as Calvert's "best of both worlds" gender approach that includes strong single-sex elements within an overall coeducational framework. Many thanks to the prospective parents for their time and interest!
