Our curriculum is classical and Christ-centered.

The modern renewal of classical Christian education began in the late twentieth century as parents, educators, and school leaders recognized growing weaknesses in modern education and sought to recover an older, richer vision of learning. Rather than viewing education primarily as career preparation or information transfer, this renewed movement returned to the historic model that shaped Western civilization for centuries.

Influenced by educators, writers, and organizations committed to restoring this tradition, classical Christian schools began reemerging across the country in the 1980s and 1990s. These schools sought to unite rigorous academics with Christian discipleship, believing education should form the whole person intellectually, spiritually, morally, and culturally.

Today, the classical Christian education movement continues to grow as schools and families seek an approach to education that prioritizes wisdom over utility, character over achievement, and a lifelong love of truth grounded in Christ.

Since our founding in 1995, Covenant School has believed education shapes far more than academic outcomes—it shapes who a person becomes. At its best, education helps students discover who they are, why they are here, and how to live wisely and well.

A classical Christian education is rooted in the liberal arts tradition, engaging students in the verbal and quantitative arts, the Humanities, natural sciences, classical languages, art, music, and the great books, all within the framework of a distinctly Christian worldview. Our purpose is to educate students holistically, cultivating the knowledge, skills, virtues, and affections necessary to become wise, capable, and faithful human beings.

Our pedagogy reflects this vision by emphasizing wonder, attentiveness, meaningful conversation, and deep engagement with what is true, good, and beautiful. We value mastery, repetition, contemplation, and joyful discovery over mere information transfer. Through rich relationships with teachers and peers, careful reading of great books, music and recitation, thoughtful discussion, and embodied practices of learning, students are formed not only intellectually, but holistically.

For this reason, Covenant School pursues a Classical and Christ-centered approach that forms the whole person and prepares students not simply for success, but for lives of meaning, wisdom, and love.

We’re classical – 

A classical education is rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, the great works of the Western tradition, and the study of the languages that shaped that tradition. This time-tested approach equips students not merely with information or narrow vocational skills, but with enduring intellectual tools that prepare them for lifelong learning and wise living.

Through the Liberal Arts, students are given the tools to think clearly, reason carefully, and communicate truth with wisdom and eloquence. The Liberal Arts also provide the foundation for excellence in music, mathematics, and the natural sciences, helping students recognize the order, harmony, and beauty woven into creation through objective principles, careful observation, and logical inquiry. Whether through mathematical reasoning, scientific discovery, or musical composition and performance, these disciplines cultivate intellectual flexibility, creativity and curiosity—preparing students to navigate a complex and changing world with discernment and confidence.

We teach Classical Languages because both Latin and Greek form students intellectually, morally, and spiritually. Through the study of these languages, students enter the living conversation of Western civilization and the Christian tradition, encountering great works, enduring ideas, and timeless questions about justice, virtue, truth, and what it means to be human. Classical languages cultivate precision in thought, attentiveness to meaning, and depth in reading while helping students see the world through the eyes of those who came before them. In an age shaped by speed and distraction, the study of Latin and Greek teaches patience and clarity.

 In the Humanities, students engage the great ideas, stories, and questions that have shaped human civilization. Through careful reading, discussion, and reflection, students encounter how people across cultures and centuries have wrestled with the greatest questions of humanity. These studies cultivate virtue, wisdom, and cultural literacy, helping students better understand both the world and their place within it.

We’re Christ-centered – 

Covenant School is Christ-centered because we believe Jesus Christ reveals the fullest understanding of truth, wisdom, virtue, and what it means to be truly human. For this reason, Christian faith is not confined to a single class or program, but thoughtfully woven throughout every aspect of school life. Alongside formal study in Biblical Studies and Theology, students are encouraged to see all subjects through the lens of a distinctly Christian worldview and to understand every area of knowledge as belonging ultimately to God. Our aim is not only academic excellence, but spiritual formation.

Our Biblical Studies and Theology curriculum helps students grow in their understanding of Scripture and the historic Christian faith. Students learn the overarching story of the Bible, how to read and interpret Scripture wisely, and the core doctrines that have shaped Christianity throughout history. Through study, discussion, reflection, and application, students are encouraged to develop a thoughtful, informed, and deeply rooted Christian worldview that shapes both belief and daily life.

A Christian Worldview is not simply an added perspective, but the foundation from which all learning flows. We believe all truth is God’s truth, and therefore every discipline—from literature and history to mathematics and science—reveals something about God and the purposes of His creation. Students are taught to think critically and faithfully about the world around them, learning to discern truth, pursue wisdom, and understand their responsibilities toward God and neighbor. By integrating faith and learning, we seek to form graduates who are intellectually grounded, spiritually mature, and prepared to live with conviction, humility, and hope.
