About Covington Christian School

A Brief History

Purpose

The purpose of establishing Covington Christian School was to assist the home and local church in the education of the whole child: mind, body and spirit and to do so in a loving Christian environment.  This philosphy is based on Luke 2:52 in which scripture says, "And Jesus increased in wisom and stature, and in favor with God and man."
