The Scriptures teach that parents bear the primary responsibility for teaching their children the paideia of the Lord—the culture of the Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesians 6:4). We also recognize that the faculty of a school merely exists in loco parentis: “in the place of parents.” And that parents, not the state, give the school delegated authority to teach their children while they are in class.
The collaborative model of Covenant Classical School allows us to intentionally welcome and include parents in the duty of education. At our school, students attend class with a professional teacher for 2 days during the week, and then they receive at-home assignments to complete under the guidance and instruction of their parents on the remaining 3 days.
At Covenant Classical, we recognize that education is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Rather than following a traditional age-grade model, our students are part of learning cohorts—small, multi-age groups of students who progress together based on skill, mastery, and developmental readiness. This model allows us to cultivate a rich learning environment where each child is seen, known, and encouraged to flourish at their own pace.
We are committed to reimagining education. We move beyond the idea of simply "covering" material and instead prioritize true mastery of concepts. Tests and quizzes are used as tools for learning—formative assessments that guide our teaching, ensuring every student has the opportunity to fully grasp and apply what they are learning.
