Since joining the Covenant Classical community five years ago, we have been beyond pleased with the education our daughter has received. When researching schools for her, as she was about to start kindergarten at the time, we had limited knowledge of classical education. From the moment we entered the school and met with the principal, we were immediately intrigued to learn more about this curriculum. Throughout our journey through grammar school, our daughter has continued to excel year after year. She is challenged appropriately and is always eager to learn more. With the growth of the community, Covenant has been able to grow the co-curricular opportunities too. We continue to be pleased with the staff of teachers as well as the administrators throughout these years. We proudly recommend Covenant Classical to families that want to build their children's educational foundation.

Our family has been at Covenant since 2019. Our oldest is now in the logic program. We cannot say enough about the teachers at Covenant!! We feel this has been the best school experience and are forever thankful for the Covenant staff. We will continue to drive over 30 minutes one way to go here!

I have 2 daughters attending CCS in Naperville. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the classes and teachers! The teachers truly love your kids, they're not just another number. Also the school doesn't issue chromebooks or sit your kid infront of a "smart" screen to babysit your child all day. The teachers actually teach in a way that holds your child's attention so addictive screens and screen dependence are not a worry for at least 8 hours of everyday. Unless the upper grades are doing research or typing a paper, I haven't seen screens used. The school is also a very Christian school. My children are learning about right and wrong and about God's love and grace from creation to crucification. My girls come home smiling and excited every day. They're learning so much about so many things academically, socially, morally-- when they come home they can't wait to share with me. It's really a great school.

Choosing Covenant Classical School was the right decision for our family. When our eldest daughter was starting Kindergarten, our family visited five local private schools in the Naperville, IL area, as well as the public school option. We ultimately chose Covenant, and we couldn't be happier. Our priorities were: 1.) a SAFE, Christian environment; 2.) excellence in academics that's off the charts; 3.) parent volunteer/involvement opportunities; and 4.) an authentic/supportive community of parents/teachers/staff. Currently, we're going on three years there with two children enrolled, and it's been the best decision for us as a family. My kids are thriving, and they love going to school.

The last 2 years at Covenant has been life-changing for my son and as a result for our whole family. Covenant is everything I hoped it would be for him and more. Sending him to a new school didn't make me nervous or worried at all because I knew he'd be taken care of.I was first drawn to Covenant because of the safe, loving, nurturing, and caring environment that it would provide. My son's demeanor going to Covenant has been vastly different thanit was going to public school. He has demonstrated significantly less anxiety and has overall been more relaxed and content about school.The faculty and staff are approachable, truly invested, and incredibly caring for the students. I am so thankful for administrators and faculty that make it easy to discuss concerns. The community of grace is real and creates so much peace. I know that each day he will be cared for by staff who truly invest in their students, and I have so much peace sending him to school each day. Words cannot express our gratitude!!

Our family has been attending Covenant since 2014 and have experienced every grade from K-8th. The school has passionate educators and administrators who go above and beyond to ensure each student's success and give them a nurturing and supportive community that encourages intellectual curiosity. Our kids love to go to school. Even the teenagers! They are happy, known, and have made amazing friendships. We couldn't be happier with our choice. We highly recommend Covenant to any family seeking a comprehensive educational experience.

Covenant Classical has been such a blessing for my family. My son was struggling in the public-school setting but when we switched to Covenant Classical, he truly flourished. He is now thriving in his studies and he is eager to learn more. He loves school and is excited to attend each day. He feels that he is challenged, and the teachers acknowledge him as a contributor to the learning environment. He finally feels "seen" as a student. The culture is warm and engaging and truly sets children up for success. There is a right balance between rigor and fun that keeps the children wanting to come back each day. The importance of character development, the religious studies and the classical model of education truly make for an invaluable educational experience. Covenant Classical is an investment that will pay dividends in my son's education and heart for the rest of his life!

Our child is finishing her first year of school here, and our experience has been AMAZING! The school is incredibly diverse, the children are very respectful, the teachers are incredibly engaged and involved with the children - I could not say enough great things about the school. Academically, our child has learned both reasoning ability and facts, far beyond what most Kindergarteners know. One of the reasons we chose Covenant was to find a school that not only excels in academia, but also teaches the kids the vital life skills and ability to think for themselves, which will be required of them to be successful in life. In addition to receiving grades for the standard subjects typically taught, the students receive grades on crucial life skills that need to be developed such as time management, showing respect, etc.
