Covenant Christian Academy

The school year is winding down and I thought it was a good time to comment on what this school has been to our family. My 7 year old has attended classes here 1 day a week as a homeschooler, but I also taught here before having kids (sorry, I’m going to be biased, I might as well be honest about it!). Covenant Christian is a small, reformed school focused on both character and academics. In my experience, they have excelled at both.
One of the things that has really stood out to me is how genuinely kind all the kids are too each other. I remember one day I was walking my daughter out to the playgournd and we walked through an intense basketball game. The middle school boys all stopped, cheerfully greeted my daughter by name with «how are yous?» and «it’s nice to see you today!» There was no hint of «hey you got in our game!» Another instance that stands out to me was at the Christmas program, I dropped my daughter off in the practice room. Like an over protective mom tried to covertly peek on her and see how she was settling in and saw an older girl get down to her eye level and say, «I love your dress! You look so nice tonight!» My shy daughter comes home glowing every day. She knows she’s loved there.
She’s also learned amazing things from wonderful teachers. Each teacher really pours them self out sacrificially for those kids and it shows. They teach all the subjects from a biblical worldview. The classes are small and the kids are known. They are allowed to work at their own pace if needed (either way). The grades are combined which actually lends itself well to that. Even though it’s small the kids still participate in all the regional ACSI events (spelling bee, math Olympics, etc). The middle schoolers take a trip to Washington DC.
If you’re looking for a Christian school for your children to be nurtured as a whole person, give them a call. You can visit and see for yourself! ;)
