TEACHERS ARE DEDICATED TO STUDENT SUCCESS

"Our five children attended and it has been a great experience! The youngest just graduated from Covenant Life School. Our kids received individualized care (both academic and spiritual) from teachers and administration alike - oversight and counsel were excellent. Friendships among the students are sweet and genuine. I'm eager to see my grandchildren there too. One is already attending! Our kids easily obtained scholarships because of the quality of the education they received at the school."       Former Covenant Life Parent
