A classical private school in Dallas/Fort Worth where your child can flourish
You’re familiar with the word “partnership.” You’ve probably seen it a dozen times as you searched websites and brochures for private schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. But have you heard it defined lately? And what exactly does it mean to you?
At Covenant Christian Academy, we want to be clear about what we mean when we say partnership. We want families considering Covenant Christian Academy to know how we work together with parents and students toward common goals.
So, what does a successful educational partnership at CCA look like? Our Portrait of a Partnership outlines the seven mutual commitments between the home and school.
Christian Faith and Values
The family’s commitment:
We partner with families who ground their lives in Christian principles and teachings. At CCA, we believe that having at least one parent who is a confessing Christian and actively involved in a Bible-believing church, strengthens the foundation for your child’s spiritual growth. We value your participation in faith-based activities and family prayers as part of our shared commitment to nurturing a Christ-centered life.
Covenant Christian’s commitment:
- A biblical worldview integrated into every subject, class, program, and event
- Faculty and staff who are committed Christians, encouraging students to grow in faith
- A formal character development program that helps foster an environment where students feel safe and confident
