Welcome to The Covenant School

“We’re a beacon on the hill. Shining God’s truth.”

-Lyrics from The Covenant School Alma Mater

Thank you for your curiosity in The Covenant School.

Selecting a school for your child is an important process that can sometimes feel overwhelming. Our goal throughout the admissions process is to get to know you, your family, and your child. We want you to feel known and welcomed. Covenant is an intentionally small school where relationships are prioritized and we want the admissions process to give you a taste of Covenant. The best way to get to know Covenant is to take a tour. Please give us a call or email and schedule a time to come in and discover everything that makes Covenant so special.

Here At Covenant

Covenant has been such a blessing to not only our kids but my husband and I as well. We have enjoyed the structure mixed with grace, as well as how much the girls have loved the school. I love hearing my Kindergartener singing chapel songs throughout the house and hearing my three-year-old talk about her new best friends in her class. Both our girls have matured so much in just one week from school, and we can’t wait to see how God matures them through Covenant in a year! We are just so thrilled! Our only complaint is that we wished that we would have started them earlier at TCS...guess that wouldn’t have been possible for our youngest daughter!
- A New Parent of a Preschooler and Kindergartener
Every person we spoke with in the community that knew of Covenant spoke very highly of the program, the staff, and the school. We consistently received feedback saying the students were well prepared when leaving Covenant and were usually placed in honors classes at other schools, both private and public. We were told repeatedly that students left there equipped to be leaders. And the sense of community is invaluable! We've felt like a part of the family since the day we toured. Being assigned a buddy family for the summer, having the new family ice cream party, and having a student visit our home the day before Orientation Day to deliver a yard sign was just amazing and helped our child (AND US) transition so beautifully. We are SO VERY HAPPY that God led us to The Covenant School.
- A New Parent of a 5th Grader
We are blessed that the Covenant community has embraced our son. In addition to an excellent education, Covenant has instilled confidence, provided unconditional love, and limitless faith in our son!
