Covenant’s Mission Statement is as follows:
Together
parents and staff are committed to providing a uniquely Christ-centered education that promotes academic,
social and spiritual growth.
Now, what does
that mean?
- Together:
we need the staff and parents to work together! Parents can be involved
in formal ways (e.g. committee members), with thestudents (e.g. field trip
supervisors), at ‘friend-raising’ events (e.g. pancake breakfast)…
- Christ-centered: Christ is at the centre of all we do. Our
goal is make our entire curriculum and ways of operating totally infused with
our Christian beliefs. We hope that even if you took away the overtly Christian
practices (eg.devotions, prayer, Bible class) our school would still be
obviously Christian.
- Academic growth: we are a
school and that means that academics are important to us. We offer a full range
of academic subjects, including the core subjects and a variety of artistic and
physical opportunities as well. Our students receive a solid academic education
and compare very favorably to the students across the province in terms of
performance on Provincial Achievement Tests.
- Social growth:
learning and practising the skills of living in community are important
and we take seriously our task of guiding students in this area of growth as
well.
- Spiritual growth: we
recognize that the school supports parents and the church as primary nurturers
of faith in young people. Covenant is a support for Christian parents in the
raising of faith-ful children.
Vision Statement
We believe that
God is Lord of all creation and that He created each person in His image. The
Bible, as God's inspired Word, guides us and is the foundation for all
learning.
Therefore, as a
school community we endeavour to mould all our teaching and learning to reflect
the glory of God.
By providing a Christ-centred learning environment, we
strive to equip all our children with knowledge, skills, strategies and insights
that will enable each of them to fully develop their God-given gifts.
Specifically, we aim to nurture in our children a personal love and respect for
God, others and creation.
We acknowledge the joint responsibility and
mutually supportive roles of home and school, and so together we educate our
children for lives of obedience and service to God both now and in the
future.
