School Reviews

We have loved the Covenant School of Jacksonville over the past few years. The transition to Covenant was the right choice for our family as our children are thriving in high educational standards and spiritual leadership. The new campus is beautiful and the Christ-centered education partners with our family to grow our children to go out into the community with a firm foundation to honor God with wisdom, strength, and love.

My wife and I have been looking for the perfect balance in a private, Christian school ever since we moved to Jacksonville in 2016. Our search is over. We have found here great academics, quality sports and fine arts, and most importantly a spiritually focused atmosphere. The children and their families are committed to their faith in local churches. That is the Covenant difference. A school must be more than Christian in the curriculum. It must have Christian students.

My daughters (Currently 12th & 8th Graders) have each been a part of Covenant since Kindergarten. My husband and I have been pleased with the academic rigor and Christian environment the school offers. Our daughters have had the opportunity to be involved in a variety of different activities including playing on athletic teams, participating in fine arts as well as the ability to compete in various academic competitions.
