I have 2 daughters attending Covenant Classical School in Naperville. I have nothing but amazing things to say about the classes and teachers. The teachers truly love your kids, they're not just another number. The small class sizes encourage interaction and participation, no kid is left behind. Also the school doesn't issue chromebooks or sit your kid infront of a "smart" screen to babysit your child all day. The teachers actually teach in a way that holds your child's attention so addictive screens and screen dependence are not a worry for at least 8 hours of everyday. Unless the upper grades are doing research or typing a paper or something, I haven't seen screens used. The school is also a very Christian school. My children are learning about right and wrong and about God's love from creation to crucification. They're learning so much about so many things academically, socially, morally. It's a great school.

We love the Covenant community! We were looking for a school that teaches a Christian worldview and the classical part was just icing on the cake! The school really does embody a community of grace and we love how the teachers are really looking at the child's heart, not only striving to correct a behavior, but trying to look at the heart of the issue to see what's going on. The academics are top notch, we are always surprised at what new things our kids are learning that we didn't learn until much later on in life. Our kids are always excited to go to school and we are just so thankful that this school exists!

The teachers are nice, but the "headmaster" only cares about money. there was a shooting threat while i was attending, however, the kid who made the threat came from a wealthy family that donated regularly to the school, so he was suspended for 2 days with little investigation. Please, do not send your kids to this school.

Our children have experienced public, home, and private school. Long story short is that four years ago a friend invited us to tour Covenant Classical School. On that first visit, we fell in love with the school and there was no going back. The teachers faithfully deliver a solid curriculum while caring for the hearts of our children. We appreciate the transparency of the day-to-day activities and operations of the school. We love the diversity of the student body and the common mission of the Covenant family.

This is our first year at Covenant Classical School and we are thrilled with the experience so far. The teachers are amazing, the staff is helpful and friendly, and the curriculum is advanced and well worth the investment. Our son is reading and performing at levels well above his age and is learning critical thought at an early age. We highly recommend Covenant Classical School!

Our daughter transferred to Covenant from a public elementary school. The changes we saw in her upon arrival to Covenant were immediate. Within days of transferring to Covenant, our daughter was excited to attend school again. She comes home telling us all about her day and friends and what she is learning. She is always smiling and singing little jingles she's learning to reinforce memory. Beyond her attitude shift in regards to school, her reading, writing, and math skills have grown exponentially compared to the progress we were witnessing previously.In addition to the benefits our daughter has received, in only a few months we've developed friendships with other parents as well as a passion and purpose in supporting the school. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE COVENANT!

We happened upon Covenant late in the summer before our son, Noah, was to start kindergarten, thanks to one of my husband's business associates. Covenant is the rarest of finds in all aspects of K-12 education. Daily Noah darts out the door, and we know his heart and mind are loved, guarded and guided by faculty and staff who maintain an unparalleled zeal for children. Under their tutelage Noah benefits from the deepest, widest education we could imagine. He's learning to think creatively, independently, analytically, to push the envelope in the right ways. He also stands to gain from professionals who are socially and emotionally intelligent. Noah's faith is stronger by the week because of the instruction he receives in scripture. Much more than just Bible verses, that teaching delves into the work and life of Christ. The teachers' zest for what they do, the administration's smooth handling of the school's rhythms, the ever-upbeat pulse of the children in corridors and classrooms--these are the comings and goings of a place we've come to call home.

My son is loving his class and this school. He is learning an amazing amount of material while still having fun and making friends. It has been a perfect fit for us.

We have several kids at Covenant and this is our fourth year. Though very different in their learning styles and abilities, Covenant's rigorous and deep curriculum has encouraged each of them to think and to grow in their own way. Christian training is much more thorough than one would expect. The Logic stage is crucial development for any teenager, helping them thrive, and the teachers at all grades do really pore into the kids. I'm so glad my children are being given the ability to think--a gift that truly has no price tag!

We came to Covenant looking for a school that combined rigorous academics, joyful learning, a biblical foundation and a nurturing environment. Covenant has not only met but surpassed our expectations. It truly is a special place.

A place where our children can learn and grow in wisdom and knowledge, where their faith is encouraged. The classical curriculum challenges them to become thinkers and to make connections in all areas of their learning. The teachers are wonderful, as are the school's administrators, with regard to professionalism and skill as educators, as well as in the way their love of knowledge and love for kids shows in their work.

We had 2 kids that attended Covenant from K-4 grade until we moved from the area. Unable to find another classical school, we put them in a Christian school in the area. The new school followed a public school model and incorporated Christian values, for which we were happy. But our kids suffered a great loss as the method in the new school did not excite or ignite their love for learning the way the classical method did at Covenant. The kids felt an enormous sense of love, caring, and emotional safety at Covenant that they were unable to find at the new school. Not only is the classical model at Covenant superior to most out there, the environment allowed my kids to grow in their love of learning and their love of Christ. Highly recommended to anyone considering a Classical Christian education for their children.

We have two children at Covenant and we are very pleased with the education. They are being prepared at a different level for life then they had been receiving at their previous public school. I love the level of rigor. If all schools taught in this manner I believe our country would hold a much higher ranking in education. We would be able to compete.

Our family has been very pleased with Covenant. We have multiple children enrolled and each is having an incredible experience. When we compare what they are learning with their peers in other schools, we could not be more pleased with the quality of the education.

Our son is in his second year at Covenant, and we are incredibly grateful to be able to send him there. What he is learning and how he is learning and from whom he is learning is spectacular. All the other parents we've interacted with feel the same way. Go Covenant!

My husband and I were looking for a school that taught the love of Jesus Christ and also classical education. Our daughter is now going into second grade! Our daughter was extremely shy but now she is bubbly and she loves her school. I love that every grade knows one another and shows the love of christ Jesus. The staff is amazing! They are family!!! LOVE MY COVENANT FAMILY!!!!

I have had two children attend Covenant Classical School in Naperville. They have loved their teachers, and have learned things that amaze me. The Classical curriculum has provided them with a learning framework that has helped them make sense of the flurry of information that comes at them today, gain a love for history, and see how past events connect with what's happening around the world today. Their science experiments are lots of fun too! My kids love to tell me all about what they are learning. We drive more than 30 minutes to go to Covenant because Covenant's academics, school culture, and teaching methods are superior to any other school around.

Prior to joining the Covenant family, our daughter spent two years at a classical school in another state. The experience was so great that we weren't sure we'd be able to find a school in this area that matched our expectations. Not only were we looking for a school with a Christ centered education, high academic standards, and a faculty comprised of caring and knowledgeable individuals, but we were also looking for a community. Covenant Classical School has not only met, but exceeded every single one of our expectations. Covenant has offered our daughter the freedom to succeed, grow, and discover her love for learning.
