The Calvert Curriculum
The Calvert program ensures a well balanced educational experience, built on a strong foundation of basic skills. Students achieve content mastery through a balance of new and review, while reinforced study and application across subject areas develops higher order thinking skills. Our curriculum sets high and clear expectations, which fosters a culture of achievement.
A successful school year requires a diverse suite of resources, instructional methods, and tools. Calvert’s time-tested curriculum provides the foundation, and then blends the best of tradition and innovation through online and offline academic resources, comprehensive assessment tools, and expert guidance.

Flexibility, Tailoring Options, and Support
Calvert Classic for Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grades includes everything you need for a full year of instruction. Work independently at a pace and schedule that fits your families’ lifestyle and needs, with the assurance that Calvert’s support team is available to you when you need them. Every child has a distinctive learning style and unique instructional needs. Calvert addresses these differences by offering Custom Math, a math grade-level placement different than the core course. In Fourth through Eighth Grade you may select from two different language arts instructional focuses, both cover the same subjects with a different emphasis, Calvert Academic and Calvert Scholastic.
