Re-Enrollment Gets Re-Vamped

  • Get a 3% discount on your tuition just for paying your registration and turning in your enrollment forms by 2/29.
  • Get a 2% discount on your tuition for registering by 3/31.
  • If you pay your tuition in full by June 1st, and you have registered by 2/29 or 3/31, you get an additional 2-3% off your total tuition.

Sports Corner

Congratulations to the Calvary Boys Varsity Basketball Team for the second place finish in the 26th annual Mission Peak Basketball Tournament held in Fremont. The boys opened the tournament with wins over Kimber Hills of Fremont and Redeemer of Redwood City before falling to Prince of Peace in overtime in the final game. Calvary led early in the fourth period but Prince of Peace fought back and tied the game at the end of regulation. In overtime both teams fought hard and there was great fan support throughout the tournament. We would like to thank all of you that attended and showed such enthusiasm, but also remind you that we must be respectful in our exuberance.
