Overview
The Calverton School is a top-notch academic, art, athletic, and service community where values and respect are reinforced.
The school offers a challenging college-preparatory program in an environment that encourages honesty, tolerance, respect, and responsibility.
Small class size and low student/teacher ratios support a student-centered curriculum and individualized attention.
Students are prepared not only for college, but to be lifelong learners, responsible members of the community, stewards of the environment, and informed citizens of the world.
We are a small, non-profit, independent Montessori school that promotes strong academic and critical thinking skills, encourages our students to contribute to the community and the world, helps our students develop as fair-minded, compassionate leaders, and supports their development in becoming self-directed decision makers. This happens through the guidance of teachers who care deeply about their students, strong family connections and partnership, and a sincere belief in the capacity of all children.
