Calvary Academy provides students with a journey.  Each journey is different.  How you "get there" defines who you are.  Students at Calvary Academy develop their own ideas, explore diverse perspectives, and embrace their Christianity.

All full-time faculty hold Bachelor Degrees at a minimum and some have more advanced degrees. Curriculum meets or exceeds NJ Department of Education guidelines. Biblical truths are integrated within the curriculum through every grade, which enables our students to understand their world from a Christian Worldview perspective. Participation in Bible instruction and service opportunities, considered critical aspects of discipleship training, promotes Christian maturity as our students develop a sense of commitment to the broader community.

The first step towards academic excellence is a solid educational experience.  Calvary Academy offers elementary students a strong academic foundation that prepares them for our college-preparatory high school.  All students are challenged to reach their God-given potential, to strive for excellence in all they do through the integration of faith and learning.  Students excel academically through a traditional curriculum integrated with current teaching techniques such as cooperative learning experiences and technology, including our 1:1 computer program in direct cooperation with Microsoft. Within these strategies our Christian teachers promote a positive learning environment. Dual Enrollment college credit classes are available, allowing students to already have earned college credits as they enter college. Our students are accepted to prestigious Christian, private, and public institutions, including universities like Stanford University & Princeton University. The highest level of scholarships are awarded to our students. Recent graduating classes have received over $750,000 in scholarships!

Many clubs and extra-curricular activities are available at all levels, including the National Honor Society, and competitive sports for 5th-12th grade in Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, Cheerleading, Baseball, Softball, Bowling and Track.

Calvary Academy, a place of academic excellence, where spiritual maturity and relationships are developed, and friendships are forged for a lifetime.
