Every student at Covenant Christian Academy is uniquely created by God and entrusted with gifts, abilities, and a God-given purpose. For this reason, no single description can fully capture the richness of a Covenant graduate.
Even so, Covenant’s mission, curriculum, and culture are intentionally designed to cultivate the affections, habits, and competencies that prepare students to flourish. In covenantal partnership with parents, we seek to form students whose lives increasingly reflect the following Portrait of a Graduate outcomes:
