Woman packing Calvert School courses.

Calvert and the military go back almost 100 years. Military personnel, as well as missionaries and diplomats, have used Calvert School to educate their dependents when stationed in remote locations in the U.S. and abroad since our beginning in 1906. In the 1940s, Calvert was used widely by dependents of soldiers stationed in Korea and Japan. Use by military personnel throughout the world continues today.


The State Department also has used Calvert widely over the years for its staff’s children overseas.

 

The appeal of Calvert is the completeness of our courses: all textbooks, workbooks, activities, assignments and supplies are shipped to the family. These tools, coupled with the Calvert methodology and our challenging curriculum, help inspire the best in children and makes home teachers the most productive they can be.

 

Calvert School provides an academically challenging, complete curriculum to Pre-K-8 students. In addition to daily, step-by-step lesson plans   that use textbooks from major educational publishers, Calvert o Family modern ffers a wide range of academic support.  It begins with placement testing to ensure students are properly challenged, continues with access to Education Counselors to discuss questions about instruction and learning methodology, and includes an optional Advisory Teaching Service  (ATS), where professional teachers correct, score and return tests eight times a year to confirm student success. (With ATS, students can obtain transcripts.)

 

Calvert students are all over the world -- in 90 countries on six continents. Hundreds of military families stationed outside the United States use Calvert School courses.
