Dance Teacher​/Program Leader

Our mission at Calvary Day School is to provide a Christ-centered educational experience for students attending from Birth through 12th grade through the development of the total student — spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.

Calvary Day School is not just where students go to class — it is a place where they are known, encouraged, and surrounded by people who care deeply about who they are becoming. Relationships are at the heart of everything we do, and through those relationships, students are challenged to discover their gifts and step into God’s calling for their lives.

Every student’s journey looks a little different, but at Calvary, no one walks it alone. Our teachers, coaches, and mentors come alongside students in a way that feels like family — helping them uncover their unique strengths, celebrate successes, and grow through challenges. We believe a Calvary education is about more than academics. It is about shaping character, building lasting friendships, and growing in faith.

Whether in the classroom, on the field, on stage, or serving in the community, our students are given space to shine and the encouragement to live with purpose. Calvary Day School is not just a school where students are prepared for the next step, but a place where they discover their spark and begin to live out their calling.
