I can not say enough wonderful things about Covenant Christian School! The teachers are kind, warm, and inviting. The academics are rigorous without being unduly burdensome for the children. The school day is unhurried and children learn at the pace that is right for them. The small class sizes allow for individual attention for the student that excels and for the student that needs extra help. The children are encouraged, loved, and cared for, all while they learn and grow as individuals. We are thrilled to be a part of the Covenant Christian School family.

Our daughter has attended CCS since it's inception three years ago. She loves the small class size and the warm loving teachers. We love the homey, family feel of the school and the "nontraditional classrooms."

CCS is an amazing school. This is our daughter's second year at CCS and she truly loves her school. Learning is meaningful and the students feel there is a purpose in the things that they are taught. The atmosphere is relaxed and feels like home. Because of the small class sizes, the teachers can give a lot of one-to-one attention to the students. There are so many wonderful things about CCS. Our daughter is receiving a fantastic education that will be invaluable for her future.

The Charlotte Mason methodology is what drew us to the school! I'm a parent of a child who finished Kindergarten this year and she absolutely LOVED coming to school! They truly provide a Christian atmosphere in all areas you can imagine.
