School Reviews
5 8/1/2025
I have been a Covenant parent for 12 years. My oldest is about to be a senior, and I have seen the fruits of classical Christian education in all of my children, the youngest of whom is in 1st grade. They know God's word, they have grit and discipline, and they can ask hard questions in a nurturing environment. This school is both a faith community and a learning community; Christian parents are invited to be a part of their children's education at Covenant. The staff is trustworthy and clings to Biblical standards, which is comforting in an ever-changing culture.
