School Life
Technology
At Calvary Christian School, we believe preparing students for the future means equipping them to thrive in a world shaped by rapid technological change and careers that don’t yet exist. Our approach is anchored in two pillars: the thoughtful integration of technology across every classroom and a comprehensive innovation curriculum that extends and enriches learning.
From Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade, students gain hands-on experience in Computer Science, Engineering, and Design—fields that form the backbone of tomorrow’s opportunities. This foundation not only deepens their understanding of core subjects, but also sharpens their ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, and approach challenges with resilience and creativity.
At Calvary, technology isn’t an add-on; it’s a tool that empowers every learner to explore, invent, and lead with confidence in an unpredictable future.
Some of the technology tools that keep us curious, creative and innovative:
-
-
1:1 Chromebooks for students in 3rd through 8th Grade
-
1:1 iPad program for students in 1st and 2nd Grade
-
iPad stations in TK and Kindergarten classrooms
-
Various programming languages including Blockly, Python, JavaScript and HTML.
-
AR/VR experiences and creation
-
Engineering design utilizing circuits and hardware
-
Digital video editing & production
-
3D modeling, printing, and laser cutting
-
Construction & modeling with sustainable materials
-
Leveled robotics engineering and operation
-
Mini Drones
-
Calvar-E-Leagues Program

Innovation in the Classroom
The focal point of technology learning is engineering and computer science. We rely on design thinking principles, computational thinking strategies, and programming skills. In essence, students learn how to strategically solve problems and challenges using technology. Data shows these principles can engage and motivate learners in science and technology, and prepare them best for future endeavors.
While technology is thoughtfully used in classroom learning in a variety of ways, capstone projects that integrate technology skills with classroom learning are also part of every K-5th experience. Throughout the K-8th, there are many opportunities for students to choose their own projects and paths to learning with robotics, programming, engineering, and digital literacy.

Application
-
Computer Assisted Design using 3D printers and precision laser cutting and engraving machines.
-
3D Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) platform and headsets that allow students to both experience and create worlds beyond their own.
-
Calvar-E-Leagues is a slate of multiple competitive engineering and gaming team esports, offered from 1st-8th grade students throughout the year. Calvar-E-Leagues provides opportunities to join unique communities within Calvary that teach similar skills gained through athletic teams, such as leadership, resilience, sportsmanship, and strategic thinking. We have a lot of FUN!
