Enrollment & Tuition

Covenant has adopted an open enrollment policy, welcoming all students and families who are open to the Christian faith, but not requiring a membership in any denomination or church. Nor do we require that the student is able to articulate a full understanding of their faith. All interested families should complete the application process and meet with the Dean of Students for an interview to be considered for acceptance to the school.

Covenant welcomes students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally made available to students at Covenant.
