Each week, a different member of the Covenant leadership will share from their perspective how we are living out our mission at The Covenant School. We seek to utilize this as an informative and enriching space for parents to be encouraged and reminded of our mission and how it applies to our students and families daily. We invite each of you to partake in the rich feast of classical Christian education at Covenant. Welcome to our “Mission Moment.”
