Christian character is a life increasingly shaped by Jesus Christ, expressed through love, integrity, humility, courage, service and self-control.
How is Christian character formed?
Character grows over time as beliefs, habits and choices are shaped through instruction, example, correction, encouragement and dependence on God's grace.
Why this matters for parents
Education forms more than knowledge and skills. Families also care about who their children are becoming and how they will respond to responsibility, relationships and difficult choices.
Learning through the lens of Christ
Christian character is not simply good behaviour or personal achievement. Covenant points students to the gospel and the transforming work of God, while encouraging faithful habits and wise choices.
In the classroom and beyond
Teachers model and discuss Christian character through learning, devotions, service, leadership, relationships and restorative conversations when things go wrong.

Common questions
Is character taught as a separate subject?
Character is addressed across curriculum, relationships, devotions, service and leadership rather than confined to one lesson.

They give students practical opportunities to take responsibility, consider others and put Christian convictions into action.
