Dear Calvary Family,

It is hard to believe that it has already been seven months since I stepped into the role of Head of School at Calvary Academy. In many ways, it feels like just yesterday that I began this new chapter with you and in other ways, it feels as though God has already done so much in such a short time. I continue to be grateful for the opportunity to serve this community and to walk alongside you in the education and formation of your children.

Over these past seven months, I have learned a great deal about Calvary — its heart, its strengths, its opportunities, and its promise. Three truths in particular have stood out to me:

First, I have seen clearly the power of family partnership at Calvary. Our school is not simply a place where students are dropped off to learn; it is a true partnership between home, church, and school. I have been encouraged by the ways families show up — attending events, communicating with teachers, volunteering, praying for our school, and investing in our mission. When families and schoolwork together with shared purpose, our students thrive academically, spiritually, and socially. This partnership is one of the things that makes Calvary distinct, and it is something we will continue to nurture and strengthen.

 

Second, I have been excited to witness the new enhancements taking place across our campus. From the refreshed front office — which now better reflects the warmth, professionalism, and welcoming spirit of Calvary — to the growth of student clubs and enrichment opportunities, we are becoming an even more vibrant learning community. Our students now have more ways to explore their interests, develop their gifts, and build meaningful relationships beyond the classroom. These enhancements are not just changes for appearance or activity; they are intentional investments in our students’ whole development — heart, mind, and spirit.

 

Third, I have been deeply inspired by our great staff. Our teachers and support staff love students, work with excellence, and approach their calling with humility and faith. I have seen their commitment to growth, their willingness to try new things, and their dedication to creating engaging, Christ-centered learning experiences. And what excites me most is that we are just beginning. Together, we are building upon a strong foundation and stepping into a season of continued growth, innovation, and impact.

 

All of this ties directly to our enrollment theme, “This Is Calvary: Come See the Difference.” The difference at Calvary is not just in what we say — it is in how we live out our mission every day. The difference is in our Christ-centered community, our commitment to academic excellence, our nurturing of authentic faith, and our partnership with families. The difference is in the way our students are known, loved, and challenged to grow into who God created them to be.

 

If you are already part of our Calvary family, I invite you to continue walking with us, sharing your voice, and celebrating what God is doing here. If you know families who are searching for a school where faith and learning come alive, I encourage you to invite them to come and see the difference for themselves.

 

Thank you for trusting us with your children, for partnering with us in this mission, and for being part of all that makes Calvary special. I am grateful to be on this journey with you, and I look forward to all that God has ahead for our school.

 

With gratitude,

 

Dr. Natalie Page
