I have been a student at Covenant for 14 years now. There have been many issues from an administrative aspect, specifically with dress code and consistency with enforcing policy.

We have incredible sports teams, teachers are some of the best and most supportive people I've ever met, and I feel very prepared for college next year.

The classes and clubs from H-period are varied and deliver great insight. Christian students should certainly consider this school if they are in the area.

As a Covenant upper school parent, it pains me tremendously to see what was once a great school ruined over time by numerous adverse changes to Covenant’s academics, leadership, culture, vision, and faith community. I can no longer recommend Covenant, and urge families considering it to think very c...
