The Calvert Fund Case Statement

Ready, Set...

Go!

READY

to provide an exceptional education to our boys and girls.

Calvert has retained its stellar reputation for over 120 years through an emphasis on fundamentals, academic rigor, and a commitment to innovation. None of this would be possible without our extraordinary faculty, who keep students engaged in learning every step of the way.

SET

to raise $1,050,000 for The Calvert Fund this school year.

Annual giving is vital to offset the costs not met by tuition. Your gift helps balance the School’s operating budget each year, enabling Calvert teachers to provide a foundational education for each student. The financial support we receive from our community makes so many things possible - from the smallest detail (providing markers) to the largest (keeping the lights on!).

GO

support Calvert School by making a gift today!

Thanks to our generous donors, our boys and girls are exceptionally well prepared to go out into the larger community and accomplish great things. Calvert students have notable success in admission to, and achievement in, both high school and college. Most importantly, they are ready and set to go into the world beyond - as intellectually curious individuals, selfless contributors, and influential leaders.

Because of you.
