At Covenant, education is about formation—shaping students into passionate followers of God who are awakened to His truth, goodness, and beauty. Without this intentional formation, students are easily led toward shallow thinking and uncertain moral grounding.
We are a community dedicated to the cultivation of both mind and soul, and we desire to continue to partner with parents who want the same—parents who are:
- Pointing their children to Christ at home and at church.
- Interested in a school that prioritizes the shepherding of hearts, not just academic rigor.
- Eager to be part of a community of faith and learning, where relationships with faculty, staff, students, and other parents are valued.
- Committed to engaging with all aspects of their children’s academic work: valuing the content, seeking help when it is needed, and staying connected to teachers.
For the last century or so, American education has been dominated by the goal of training students to become workers. It has been reduced to a transaction of information for a test and good grade. Therefore, modern education is the process of forming children to desire and accomplish these goals.
Classical Christian education follows a time-tested path that prioritizes wisdom and love. While God created us in His image, our disobedience has distorted our thinking and desires. Through this model of education, students are formed toward the restoration of that image, learning to love God and others in ways that lead to peace, joy, and a flourishing community.
Classical Christian education centers on the seven liberal arts—three verbal and four mathematical—recognizing words and numbers as foundational to understanding the world. It unites virtue formation with rich academic content, guided by skilled teachers who shape both intellect and character. By building a deep, broad foundation from pre-K through 12th grade, students are equipped to think clearly, engage ideas deeply, and learn other disciplines creatively. Without this foundation, and without exposure to great works, students risk developing shallow reasoning and limited understanding.
Children are born with a natural sense of wonder and the ability to think deeply, and a classical Christian education nurtures this by filling their minds with what is good, true, and beautiful. Through rich content, students build strong memories, develop a moral imagination, and learn to love what is lovely. By reading Scripture and great books, studying history, and nature, engaging timeless questions in math and philosophy, and contemplating great art, architecture, and music, they are formed to set their loves rightly and engage the world with order, creativity, and wisdom.
