Swimming into Summer

On May 20th, Calvert-FSK celebrated the success of this year's After School Program and welcomed some of this year's Rising Summer Scholars at our third annual Swim into Summer at Gilman School. We are not counting down until the end of school, but rather, the beginning of the fourth Calvert summer.

This is the fifth year of the Middle Grades Partnership between Calvert School and Francis Scott Key Elementary-Middle School. During the summer we hope to inspire student curiosity and love of learning with a variety of hands-on activities which will prevent summer learning loss and enrich the experiences students have in the school year. During the school year there is an after school program which includes academics, a high school road trip, and several field trips.
