Letter from the President

Dear Families,

We recognize what your commitment to home schooling means; and that is why we continue to focus on Calvert’s longstanding mission to provide you with trusted curriculum and enabling support services that will help you inspire your children to realize their full potential. Through a blending of tradition, innovation, and technology, Calvert’s program employs the best instructional methods, supported by emerging cognitive research, to ensure your student acquires skill sets that are required in today’s 21st-century learning environment and tomorrow’s workplace.

Calvert’s commitment to you goes far beyond providing you with the best curriculum and online resources—we support you, the parent. We listen to and value your comments and suggestions, and most importantly we respond! This year we are happy to announce new science kits, a parent portal, skills workshops, and enhancements to our payment plans—all of which are in response to your helpful voices.

In addition parents have expressed an interest in Calvert increasing our “green” awareness. We believe a blended experience of on- and offline education is the most academically appropriate solution for students. One way we are going “green” this year is by publishing the answer keys online, helping us to keep our tuition increases low by reducing paper and printing costs. Delivering answer keys online in the parent portal also makes access more secure and allows us to update them easily and quickly, as suggested by parents’ inquiries.

I invite you to review our exciting new skills workshops. The pilot program was an overwhelming success, with grammar students achieving a 62% improvement after completing this four-week online course. Additional workshops in math, composition, and study skills will be offered throughout the next year.

Finally, be sure to visit our state resource pages where local families share their discoveries, and we can keep you up to date on Calvert Partners who serve your community.

To our returning families, it gives us no greater pleasure than to continue to work side by side with you, helping you realize your academic goals for your children. And to families new to Calvert School, welcome, and rest assured that we are here to listen to you, help you guide your children, and support you, every step of the way.
