Overview
Cardinal Hickey Academy is a K-8th grade Regional Catholic school and Montessori preschool supported by three neighboring parishes and serve to our local families in the Calvert county and southern Anne Arundel county areas in Maryland.
We focus on faith, community and excellence to nurture the whole child's moral, character and academic development.
The Calverton School is a top-notch academic, art, athletic, and service community where values and respect are reinforced.
The school offers a challenging college-preparatory program in an environment that encourages honesty, tolerance, respect, and responsibility.
Small class size and low student/teacher ratios support a student-centered curriculum and individualized attention.
Students are prepared not only for college, but to be lifelong learners, responsible members of the community, stewards of the environment, and informed citizens of the world.
