Academics
Curriculum
The main curriculum base is A Beka Books, the world-renown publishers of Christian textbooks. A Beka has produced all the basics of a solid education in beautiful, full-color books and workbooks. Phonics is the cornerstone of kindergarten and the other grades build on these principles.
History and Science are taught from a Biblical perspective. History asserts patriotism and endorses the hand of God throughout time. Science teaches observation and substantiation of proven theories. It reinforces creationism.
Grammar includes all the fundamentals of the English language and its structure. Literature offers the classics as well as modern authors.
We use Association of Christian Schools International text workbooks for Spelling and Bible in third and fourth grades. We use the Bob Jones University Press reading program for reading in third and fourth grades.
Our specialty classes include Chapel, Music, Computer, Library, Gym, and Sign Language. Educational field trips, as well as events and projects, enhance the regular schedules.

Educational Philosophy
The educational philosophy of Covenant Christian Academy is based on the Holy Bible, which presents God as the center of life. He created and sustains all things through His Son, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:16-17). The universe and all life are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him (Psalm 19:1,2; Romans 1:19,20). Man was made in God's image (Gen. 1:26-27), different from all creation, with the unique capacity to know and respond to God personally and voluntarily. Because man is a sinner by Adam's nature, he cannot know or honor God in his condition (Psalms 51:4-6, Romans 3:23). The way to true life is through faith in Jesus Christ. The "born again" experience is the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives (John 3:3, Acts 4:12).
Covenant Christian Academy has been established to provide a sound education of high academic standards, integrated with the truth of the Holy Scriptures, and to assist parents in applying scriptural direction. (Deuteronomy 6: 6-7; Ephesians 6:4)
We believe that true education must meet the needs of the whole child in his or her spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and social life. We realize that an important difference exists between the Christian and non-Christian viewpoints on a given subject. Although the knowledge is similar, no subject can be taught in the totality of its truth if the Creator, Christ, is ignored or denied.
The goal of our educational process is to instill in our students a system of values consistent with the Bible, and to educate youth in the highest principles of Christian leadership, self discipline, individual responsibility, personal integrity, and good citizenship.
Attendance at Covenant Christian Academy is a privilege, not a right. Parents and students are expected to be fully supportive of the philosophy of our school.
