Calvert’s time-tested materials, step-by-step instructions, engaging online
activities, and professional support.
For over a century, Calvert School has stood for the best in home education.
Families looking for the most flexibility in their home school program,
top-quality academic materials, and full support when they need it, choose the
Calvert program.
 The
Best Curriculum
You, as a home schooling parent, seek the finest education for your
children. Calvert’s team of curriculum specialists, all former classroom
teachers, is an extension of your personal search to find the best instructional
materials for your student. We research textbook offerings from major
educational publishers and find material that is most effective for home school
students and home teachers. If we do not find published material that meets our
high standards, we develop our own.
Outstanding Support and Flexibility
Calvert’s professional support team is ready to help you embark on a
successful learning adventure with your child! From your first contact, through
enrollment, and during the course of your Calvert program you have live access
to
Calvert Education Counselors,
experts in the Calvert curriculum and student development, Placement Counselors,
Technical Support, and Client Services. You can contact Calvert’s support team
by
phone, using Live Chat, or e-mail.
Tailoring options, such as flexible placement in math, different
instructional support options, and various instructional focus alternatives,
help to customize your Calvert experience.
 Confident
You Get the Tools You Need
We understand your time is valuable, so we include everything you need for a
full year of instruction in the Calvert box and deliver it to your door.
Every Calvert course includes the
Calvert Lesson Manual
an easy-to-use, daily lesson plan that
provides a detailed outline including objectives, a list of materials,
step-by-step instructions, and a summary of assignments. Our integrated and
proven curriculum is enhanced with engaging online activities to further
strengthen skills taught and incorporates elements of age-appropriate, 21st
century instruction in every grade level.
 Online
Resources, Engaging and
Enhancing
The printed materials included in a Calvert course are just the beginning.
All Calvert students are also given a full online companion,
My Calvert,
which enhances their offline academic experience. Through their personalized My
Calvert portal students access customized online resources including
age-appropriate enrichment activities,
Calvert i-Library,
a comprehensive research library including access to an online version of
Encyclopedia Britannica®,
Computer Skills and Applications
lessons,
AhaMath!,
and much more.
Get Started with Proper Placement
Prior to enrollment, have your student take Calvert’s free, no-obligation
placement assessment to help you decide the most appropriate grade level for
your child’s instruction. You can download the placement tools from
Calvert's Placement Services Center.
Choose the Primary Assessment tools, self-guided evaluations, to determine grade
readiness for Pre-Kindergarten through Third Grade. For Fourth Grade through
Eighth Grade use the General Placement Test and submit it to us for evaluation
by a Calvert Placement Counselor, who will provide you with an appropriate
Calvert course recommendation, including a customized math placement.
Check Your Progress with the
Calvert Advisory Teaching Service
By enrolling your child in Calvert’s optional Advisory Teaching Service, you
enhance your educational experience by receiving personal, constructive, and
encouraging feedback for your child from a Calvert Advisory Teacher. The
Advisory Teacher provides another supportive, instructional voice in your
child’s education, as well as boosts your confidence as a Learning Guide and
helps you stay on track as you progress through your course.
