• Faculty Life and Community

  Faculty at The Covenant School work closely with colleagues within and across departments in a professional community marked by mutual trust, collegiality, and a shared commitment to excellent teaching. We believe faculty are central to the life and mission of the school, and we seek to support and care for them as they grow in their craft and vocation. Christian faith is integrated naturally and thoughtfully into the life of the school, shaping a community of fellowship and shared purpose while honoring the integrity of academic disciplines and the developmental needs of students.

• How We Form Teachers at Covenant

  At Covenant, teaching is understood as a craft learned over time within a community. New faculty are formed through close collaboration with experienced colleagues, classroom observation, and ongoing conversation about teaching and learning. Mentorship is not viewed as remediation, but as a normal and expected part of professional life. Experienced faculty likewise continue to grow through peer collaboration, reflection, and shared practice. 

  This formative culture is marked by clarity, shared expectations, and a common commitment to grow together in both teaching practice and faithfulness to the school’s educational vision.

• Pathways into Teaching
