Why Covenant

Not every school is the same. Here is what makes Covenant different, and why families who come here do not tend to leave.

01

Faith and Learning Are Not Separate Here

Covenant does not add faith to an education. It builds an education on the foundation that all truth is God's truth. Every subject is taught through a Christian worldview. Every teacher is here because they believe that.

This is not a policy. It is a conviction, lived out in every classroom every day.

02

Your Student Will Be Known

13:1 Student to teacher ratio

At 13:1, every teacher knows every student's name. Not just their grade. Their story, their gifts, their questions, their struggles. At most high schools, that is not possible. Here, it is the design.

03

Academic Excellence, Not Just Preparation

1126 Average SAT vs. 947 Indiana / 965 National

Covenant graduates are prepared for college. More importantly, they are prepared to think. To lead. To serve. The academic rigor here is in the service of formation, not just performance.

04

ACSI Exemplary Accreditation

1 of 29 Schools worldwide with this distinction

Covenant is the only Christian school in Indiana with ACSI Exemplary Accreditation. It represents 40 additional benchmarks beyond standard accreditation, and a community where faith and excellence are not in tension.

05

J-Term Takes Learning Off Campus

Every January, Covenant pauses the regular schedule for two weeks of immersive learning. Students choose from service, arts, STEM, and international travel experiences. Some stay local. Some travel internationally. All of them come back changed.

06

Significant Financial Aid Available

50%+ Of students receive financial assistance

Between Indiana Choice Scholarships, SGO funding, merit scholarships, and need-based aid, more than half of Covenant students receive some form of financial assistance. Please explore every option before concluding this is out of reach.

07

A Community That Extends Beyond Graduation

Covenant alumni come back. They send their students here. They join the Board of Trustees and the Shield Club. The community formed here does not end when students graduate. It is something they carry for the rest of their lives.

08

Best Christian Workplace Certified

Covenant is a Best Christian Workplace for 2025. That means the people who teach and lead here are thriving, not just employed. The best learning happens when students are guided by teachers who are deeply committed and spiritually nourished.
