Portrait of the Graduate

We begin with the end in mind.

We believe that education is inherently formation, so it is our mission to form students to become persons with a love for learning, wisdom, virtue, who live a life characterized by our portrait of the graduate.

“Because of my education at Covenant, I was given the resouces I needed and the skills I needed to speak truth. Through critical thinking skills and the ability to question the world around me, while also staying grounded in truth, I was able to establish a love relationship with the Creator of the universe.”

Skye Moody, Covenant Class of 2010

“I felt multiple steps ahead of my peers when it came to knowing how to think critically and how to ask the right kinds of questions, and I think one of the values of the classical Christian model is that these tools help you to develop empathy. I was more able to understand other people’s perspectives.”

Clint Wilson, Covenant Class of 2007

“That balance between professional relationships and mentorship and caring I saw at Covenant— being able to translate that to my work now has been really helpful and enriching for me.”
