Dean of Fine Arts jobs in Savannah, GA

Primary Objective:

Our mission at Calvary is to provide a Christ-centered educational experience from Infant to 12th grade through the development of the total student: spiritually, academically, socially, and physically. Luke 2:52 states: “So Jesus grew both in height and in wisdom, and he was loved by God and by all who knew him.” For the Administration and Educators at Calvary, this verse is a presentation of the guiding force behind everything we do, encompassing the four components of a truly Christian philosophy of education: physical growth, intellectual growth, spiritual growth, and social/interpersonal growth. We are a community of learners and leaders where teaching and learning are stimulating, interesting, and Christ-centered. Differences are accepted and respected by students, staff, and parents. We follow many pathways to learning while sharing goals that unite us, a common core of knowledge, and a belief in biblical truths.
