An Education That Prepares Students to Live Well

From Pre-K through Grade 12, Covenant students learn from teachers who know them well and challenge them to think deeply. Our Christian Liberal Arts & Sciences education encourages students to ask thoughtful questions, explore connections across subjects, and discover God’s world through active learning. Each year builds on the last, preparing students for college and a life of wisdom, purpose, and service to God and neighbor.
We take seriously our responsibility to help our students develop their talents and envision, then pursue the lives of purpose and fulfillment for which God designed them. We want every student to deeply consider the questions, ‘Who do you want to be?’ and ‘What kind of life do you want to live?'

What is a Christian Liberal Arts & Sciences Education?

A Christian Liberal Arts & Sciences education begins with the belief that God’s world is meaningful, connected, and worth exploring. Through literature, history, theology, mathematics, science, languages, and the arts, students discover how different subjects deepen their understanding of God, humanity, and the world.

Learning at Covenant asks students to take an active role in their education. A question raised in a book might spark a classroom discussion or inspire further investigation. With Christian faith shaping every area of study, students move beyond knowing facts toward understanding what they mean and how to apply them.
