Years ago, I stumbled across classical, Christian education. Looking back, I now know the Lord clearly directed my steps.

I became a teacher in the field and quickly realized this model of education was what I wished I had experienced as a child. As a teaching consultant, I had the privilege of working at Covenant Classical School on two different occasions.

“At Covenant, students are eager to learn. Teachers are enthusiastic and gently shepherd these tender hearts. The halls are filled with a sense of peace and loveliness contrasted with the chaotic world outside the school walls.”

After getting a glimpse inside, I knew that we needed to find a way for our children to attend. At Covenant, students are eager to learn. Teachers are enthusiastic and gently shepherd these tender hearts. The halls are filled with a sense of peace and loveliness contrasted with the chaotic world outside the school walls. Classical music and hymns, joy-filled recitations, and respectful dialogue are the sounds I encountered each day I worked at the school. We longed for this type of environment for our daughters.

Finances were a concern to us at that point, but we moved forward and applied, trusting that the Lord would open the doors if this was where He wanted our child to be. He did provide exactly what we needed, and He also helped us to see how important this investment was. We were amazed at all she learned at Covenant and grateful for how the teachers and administrators walked alongside our family in pointing our child to Christ.

Classical, Christian schooling became more than just a model of education for my children. It became a way of life, helping them to better understand and appreciate the cohesiveness of history, literature, the arts, and the sciences.

Due to relocation, our family had to leave the Chicago suburbs and Covenant. We knew it would be hard to move, but we did not fully understand how difficult it would be to leave this community and classical education. Because of the foundation she received at Covenant, our daughter is well ahead academically; she thinks deeply and desires to learn at a pace and depth we simply can’t replicate. Nothing quite compares to the unique community and education she received during her time at Covenant. Simply put, Covenant Classical School is a rare gem.
