What does Bible-based mean?
It means Scripture provides the foundational Christian account of God, creation, humanity, sin, redemption and hope that informs the purposes and interpretation of education.

Common questions
Is a Bible-based curriculum only Bible study?
No. Covenant teaches the required range of subjects, while Scripture shapes the wider framework and is studied directly in Knowing God.
Do students encounter other beliefs?
Students can study and discuss other perspectives while learning to evaluate them from a Christian worldview.
