Covenant Christian School

We wanted a preschool for our 4 year old son that was more academically based, but would also allow him to explore, socialize, and just be a kid. We found that here. He started pre-​k here a few months ago and is absolutely thriving. Even after a mere two weeks, my husband and I talked about how mature he was getting. He now can write his name, recognizes the letters of the alphabet, doesn’t want to leave school, doesn’t cry every morning about going to school, and knows about prayer. I love the cute songs that he sings, the creative projects that he brings home, and his overall eagerness to learn now. I highly recommend this preschool!

Our son moved to a different school after 3^rd grade, it was time for a school with larger student body, campus and more to offer. Combo class was not good and most of their great teachers are gone.

We have come to absolutely love this little school for so many reasons. Both of our kids have attended over the last four years, and we have had such positive experiences. The staff and faculty are loving and helpful. The school encourages relationships between the younger students and older students («big buddies»), which results in an overwhelmingly loving environment that is noticeable the moment you step on campus. The school is always trying to do things better, which I appreciate, and there is no lack of communication. The teachers are attentive, loving, and highly qualified. I’ve been very impressed with the learning and growth that has taken place. While I was initially concerned about having my kids at such a small school, I have come to see it as a blessing. We love Covenant!

I cannot say enough about the pre-​school teachers, the director and entire staff! They honestly went above and beyond since day one of signing my son up.
I have a complicated relationship with my child’s dad and they accommodated every possible situation that was thrown their way. From pick ups to food allergies to parenting conflicts; they handled it perfectly! I transferred my son here from another preschool from around the corner which I was not satisfied with my child’s education. He attended pre-​k and has learned more than I could have asked for. They 110% got him ready for Kindergarten! The field trips are educational, they do extra for all the holidays and teach all about the bible.
I would recommend this school to all my friends and family and those who are looking for a Christian based education for their children. You won’t be disappointed!

We are so thankful for Covenant Christian School. My son has been there for three years and is happier than he as ever been. CCS is like a second family to him. The whole staff, from the principal, to the teachers and office staff are caring and supportive. The small class size has allowed him to receive more individualized attention and allowed me to have consistent communication with his teachers. He has also benefitted greatly from the academic coaching program with Miss Heller. During this time he receives extra help with assignments and works on developing study skills. He was recently reassessed by our local school district and has made significant academic progress relative to his last assessment three years ago, prior to going to CCS. My son has also grown spiritually during this time and has solidified his faith as his own. CCS was truly an answer to prayer for us and we are go grateful.

I went to CCS K-​8^th grade, and loved it. The class sizes were small, and the teachers and staff were personable and made an effort to get to know each and every student. It was easy to make good friends at CCS and the field trips were great. My faith really grew and served me well in high school and now in college.

I adore this school with all my heart! I started at this school in kindergarten and continued my education through 8^th grade. This private school not only shows and excellence in academics, but also community building in growing and developing a relationship with our Lord and Savior. I feel immensely blessed by everyone who has touched my life there, staff and educators. As a current teacher today, Covenant instilled in me a passion for learning and growing my relationship for The Lord. The values the school instills in its students, I continue to carry with me today. This school has been such a blessing in my life and I will continue to love and advocate this school to fellow peers and parents. I’ll forever be a cougar!

We absolutely LOVE this school. The entire staff is amazing, the environment is such a family type of environment. Everyone there is so helpful and friendly.
The class sizes are small, and they have so many awesome activities and sports for the kids :) The campus is clean and a very good size. They also have an amazing after school day care, and summer/​winter break camp. The principal is very involved, and so nice. We also LOVE Ms. Palmer! She is the best! And the reason we decided to try C.C.S. in the first place :)

This is a wonderful preschool that I would highly recommend. My son came here when he was 5 after attending another preschool that we had a little bit of problems at. He came mid-​year and just fit right in and really loved it. There was even one weekend when he asked if there was school tomorrow and we told him no and he was bummed because he really wanted to go to school. The director is wonderful as is the two teachers that he had, Mrs. Cotter and Mrs. Meachem. I don’t know about the other teachers, but I would try to get your kids into their class if they are still there (my son has moved on to public school kindergarten). He learned SO much here and the curriculum is amazing! They work with you very closely if your child has any problems. My son was having trouble with wrestling with some of the other boys and all the teachers and assistants really were patient with him and worked with him and me to resolve the issues he had. They also do a really fun graduation ceremony for the kids when they finish and are heading into kindergarten. My son loved it!

My son has been coming to CCS for preschool for 2 years and he loves it. I just started my daughter here and she is loving it too. I am very happy with all the teachers. I can tell all the teachers actually loves their job and students. The preschool director is very sweet. Overall… I highly recommend the preschool.

My son has gone to preschool at Covenant for three years now. We have absolutely loved all of his teachers and couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and loving environment for him. The school is affordable while also upholding very high standards. I would recommend it to any parent.

Covenant Christian School has been a GOD-​send for our family. Our daughter became a different child when we moved her to this school. We are so happy we found Covenant. The teachers, staff and children care for one another. The older children mentor the younger children and are taught that they need to be role-​models in every thing they do — from the playground to the different events at the school. Don’t miss out on a great school for your children. With all the issues at public schools — you should definitely take a look at Covenant. The Washington DC trip was wonderful, the children learned a lot about our founding fathers and the principles are country was based on.
The academic coaching program is wonderful, both of my children used this service. Ms. Heller helps them with all aspects of academics — study skills, reading, vocabulary, test taking, etc. I have seen both my children’s confidence and the confidence of other children soar. Not every child can make it through school without some help and in my book Ms. Heller is the best.

I wrote previously about my beautiful bonus daughter getting to school late and the school did not hold her birth mother accountable. Tardiness still happenning and the schools still a problem Birth mother would have still penalties if this was a public school. This year she received an award and her Dad was not invited to see her receive it in spite of giving his contact info to the school. and teachers. It twould be great if they were honest and embraced co– parenting. Court says it is the school responsibilty

Our son, now in 7^th grade, has been attending Covenant Christian School since kindergarten and it has been a wonderful school for him. He has received a fantastic education, will be fully prepared for his transition to high school and has grown in his love for Christ. The school has received its WASC Accreditation and has a loving, nurturing principal and staff who care deeply about the success of its students. Private school is a decision each family needs to make for itself and it is an investment that we are so happy to make. We are thrilled with how our son has grown over the years and know that CCS has been a large part of that.

I love love love this school. We move a lot, and my son has gone to numerous private schools. So far, CCS is by far head and shoulders above the rest of other private schools out there. My son loved the small class size, the one on one time he received from the teacher, and the faculty in general. We are currently in the process of moving again so we are leaving CCS, the only thing that did keep us here in Orange for as long as we’ve been here was this AMAZING school. The office staff is so spectacular and know my son by name, what he was doing in his class, if he received a part in a school program etc. I’ve never walked into a school office and had everyone know my son’s name AND my name as well.
As for the former review, she seems to be a little bitter at the world and her mother right now. Give her 10 – 15 years and her own child that she has to raise and she’ll be singing a different song altogether I bet. Ha ha, the «my mom wanted me to believe in her religion» is a hoot… yes, and she also taught you to brush your teeth and wipe your own tush after taking a poop, are you complaining about those things as well? It’s called guidance you fool, and that’s what parents are SUPPOSE to do. I bet your mother made sacrifices in her own life so you could go to a private school, but you are forgetting all about that aren’t you?
Okay, enough about OTHER reviewers and their naïve opinions. I give CCS a 10+ star rating. Just because someone is a Christian doesn’t mean they are with-​out fault, it just means others notice our actions more.
I’ll take a private Christian school any day over public school.
That’s my 2 cents for you.

not friend ly or very christian

LOL this is was my former grade School before I got relocated to Twentynine Palms, CA in 8^th grade. Let me just sum up my review by saying I did not like this School. I found alot of the staff to be nice except for the Principal (now retired). But there was the Education. Or at least that’s what my mom tells herself. I don’t even want think about how much my parents paid for me to go here. Considering I hated it and only stayed in touch with 1 classmate and each grade has a small number of students. So it wasn’t like there was anyone at this School that I didn’t know.
Maybe it’s different now but most of the kids and kids parents that I knew were pretty snobby. I even think I became snobby myself due to what I was surrounded by. Maybe I did learn more at this School than I would have at a Public School but I really think my Mom was just trying to instill her religion in me. Which they attempted to do pretty hard here. There was a Bible course, Church time, actual Church on Sundays, Youth Group and the list goes on and on. I actually think it had the opposite effect on me. Most of the kids were such hypocrites doing «bad things» in their free time. That while I’m not Atheist or Agnostic. I can rarely stand to be next to the sorts that attend Church. I can’t blame CCS for that 100%. They were just the 1^st in a long line of Churches that didn’t impress.
Not to mention the fun time that the principle tried to expel me after I was caught giving my 7^th grade boyfriend a kiss. They settled for a suspension (which I welcomed… no School) and if memory serves me right they didn’t let me go near my boyfriend for 3 months while on School grounds and I had to spend every lunch in the Principals office. Plus counseling with the Pastor. It was just a kiss and he was my boyfriend for 9 months. I mean for a 12 year old that’s a long time ;)
