A Big Day for Calvert

March 9 was a big day for Calvert School. First, it was the day that prospective families had to inform Calvert if they were going to enroll. I am very pleased to report that we have a large, wonderful group of new children and families joining us in the fall! We will again be "full" in both the Lower and Middle Schools; in fact, our enrollment this year of 612 students represents the fourth consecutive year of an all-time high enrollment at Calvert. Also, March 9 was the day by which our 8th graders had to choose their high school. They will be headed to at least 14 different schools next year, and our first choice placement rate will be at least 98%! The Calvert 8th graders are just so strong, and they have had tremendous success over the years with secondary school admission as well as great achievements at those schools once enrolled. Go Calvert!
