Merryhill School on Calvine Road in Sacramento provides an exceptional private school education for students from preschool through 8th grade. With two dedicated campuses—one for preschool and another for elementary and middle school—we offer a well-rounded learning environment tailored to each stage of a child’s development.
Our preschool campus nurtures young learners by fostering creativity, curiosity, and foundational academic skills. Using our Links to Learning curriculum, we engage children in hands-on activities that build confidence and independence while preparing them for the next step in their educational journey. Our caring teachers create a warm, supportive atmosphere where students develop social-emotional skills, problem-solving abilities, and a lifelong love of learning.
At our elementary and middle school campus, students experience a comprehensive, technology-rich curriculum designed to challenge and inspire them. Core subjects such as math, science, language arts, and social studies are enhanced by specialty classes in Spanish, music, art, physical education, and technology. Our small class sizes allow for individualized instruction, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to reach their full potential.
One of the unique features of Merryhill Calvine is our Grateful Gatherings, held every morning as a school community. These gatherings set a positive tone for the day by allowing students and staff to come together, reflect, and express gratitude. Whether recognizing individual achievements, celebrating milestones, or reinforcing values of kindness and respect, our morning gatherings foster a sense of unity and belonging among students.
Character development is a fundamental part of our mission. Through our daily interactions, leadership opportunities, and service-learning projects, we help students build important traits such as responsibility, empathy, and perseverance. Whether participating in community service initiatives or working collaboratively in the classroom, our students learn the importance of integrity, kindness, and respect for others.
Another standout feature of Merryhill Calvine is our on-campus pool, which is incorporated into our physical education program and summer camps. Students have the opportunity to build confidence in the water, develop swimming skills, and stay active in a fun, structured environment. The pool is also a highlight of our summer camp program, where children participate in aquatic activities that promote physical fitness and teamwork.
Beyond academics, we offer a variety of extracurricular activities, before and after-school programs, and summer camps to further enrich our students' experiences. Whether engaging in sports, STEM projects, performing arts, or leadership clubs, students have ample opportunities to explore their interests and develop new skills.
At Merryhill Calvine, education goes beyond the classroom. We are committed to creating a school community that values academic excellence, character development, and student well-being. Our dedicated teachers, strong partnerships with families, and dynamic learning environment ensure that every child is supported in reaching their highest potential. More than just a school, Merryhill Calvine is a place where students grow into confident, compassionate, and well-rounded individuals, ready for success in high school and beyond.
