Calvary Lutheran School

The purpose of Calvary Lutheran School is to provide each student with a quality Christian education and to nurture him/her in his/her faith and life. The Christian home is the primary base for the Christian training of children and a Christian school complements this training. We believe that children who attend our school should be taught to know and love God and to understand God’s plan of salvation. Instruction is doctrinal, Christ-centered and motivated by the Gospel and permeates every area of the curriculum and is infused throughout the entire school day. Our curriculum and all activities are developed around the premise that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and in Him we have eternal life.

HISTORY:

Calvary Lutheran Church and School are part of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. This denomination is able to trace its history of Lutheran Schools back to 1839 when immigrants established schools aboard the ships that brought them from Germany to America. Lutheran Schools comprise the largest Protestant parochial school system in the country. Baltimore Lutheran Middle and Upper School and over two dozen parish schools of sister congregations in Baltimore are a part of this system.

Calvary initiated a school with the opening of a Kindergarten at Park Drive and Creighton Avenue in 1949. A first grade was opened in 1954. One grade a year was added until school reached its entire compliment of six grades and Kindergarten in 1959. The present school building was dedicated in 1957. In 1969, four classrooms were added so that all classes could be housed under one roof as it is today. Keeping with the trends in education, Calvary congregation elected to add a Pre-Kindergarten class for four year olds in September of 1972. Calvary completed the Maryland State Department of Education accreditation process in 1984 and became a state approved school. In 1987, the school again expanded and added a Pre-School program for three year olds. An Extended Care program was added in 1989 to accommodate our school families who need child care either before or after school. In 1999, our Kindergarten Program was expanded to a full day program. Beginning in the 2000 school year, Calvary decided to eliminate the 6th grade. Calvary has continuously operated a school for over 50 years.
