ENGAGED
WHAT KIND OF LIFE DO YOU WANT TO LIVE?
From the earliest grades, Covenant students are taught to observe, wonder, question, and investigate every aspect of God’s creation. Lower School students explore the impact of the seasons on their Lower School garden and Upper School students experiment to derive the mathematical equation to reflect the movement of light through a prism. Foundational habits for respectful community are nurtured from the strong handshake and eye contact expected of the youngest students to the rules of engagement in a lively middle school Socratic dialogue structured to help early adolescents disagree without being disagreeable. The Arts at all levels challenge students to pay attention and discover beauty and inspiration in the everyday, from creative photography of peers on the playground to dramatic exploration of our common humanity. As students grow they engage not simply for a grade or even simply for the joy of learning but because they know what they are learning will help them wrestle with the kind of life they want to live and the kind of person that they want to be.
