- For more than 15 years, Christ Covenant has been educating children using timeless principles and the belief that the classical method can create lifelong learners and nurture a love of truth, goodness and beauty. Through the three phases of classical education, or the Trivium, we optimize each stage of development by teaching and engaging in a way that allows students to best absorb information about God's world.

- "In the logic phase, students in grades 6 through 8 practice critical thinking and reasoning through Socratic dialogue and application of knowledge. Because students in their early teens are natural questioners, our faculty capitalizes on that God-given tendency to create dynamic learning opportunities."
- "The final stage of the Trivium, the rhetoric phase, challenges our high school students to convey the material they have learned through the previous two phases to the outside world through excellent written and oral communication. Our seniors will create a Pinnacle Project that combines graduate-level research with an oral presentation before a panel of judges."

We are a community that loves, educates and equips our students to transform the world for Jesus Christ.
