The South Carolina Calvert Academy Curriculum
The South Carolina Calvert Academy uses the proven Calvert curriculum as the fundamental platform to support your academic endeavors and the educational foundation your child will build on for life. For over one hundred years, the Calvert program has helped students strive for academic excellence and achievement in a variety of educational settings.
A Comprehensive, Solid Foundation
The Calvert curriculum is built on a rich foundation of reading, writing, and arithmetic. That foundation is then layered with history, science, music, geography, and the arts to ensure no gaps in instruction. Calvert’s time-tested curriculum is built on the principle of subject integration. For instance, Calvert Fifth Grade students study the Civil War in history. At the same time, they also interpret Walt Whitman’s poem “O Captain! My Captain!” about Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and draft a composition entitled “A Civil War Battle.” This reinforced study across subject areas develops higher order thinking skills and promotes content mastery.
