Parent: We transferred both of our children to The Covenant School last year and have had a wonderful experience. The environment is very welcoming and our kids adjusted right away. We love the community, academic offerings, athletics, the communication between parents, faculty and staff, the and all the support we have received so far!... Read 36 reviews

Freshman: Many of the low-rated reviews speak of the workload that the school gives to the students, and that is partially because the school is at a preparatory level for college. There are numerous live sessions, help labs, recordings, and teachers that will aid you. To graduate, you have to have twenty-four credits (specifics on their website). There are many clubs that are offered to immerse yourself in the school for high schoolers especially. This school is powered by Stride Inc. that powers two other schools. One of them is George Washington University Online High School. GWUOHS is especially prestigious; since my sister attends GWUOHS, I have seen her curriculum and everything is almost if not exactly the same, but it is much more expensive.Albeit the school is rigorous, I highly recommend this school as the teachers are helpful, there are students from around the world, the coursework should get you prepared for college, and the school is interactive considering it is an online school!...

Parent: The curriculum is strong, with students working above grade level in many subjects. Teachers set high expectations and then help each child achieve those goals in a warm and nurturing environment. Each day students’ folders are filled with the work that they have completed so that parents can be informed of their child’s progress. Any obstacles are handled at early stages and the child is treated with the utmost respect every step of the way. The emphasis on STEAM is helping to prepare students for a successful future. Every member of the staff knows each kid--not only their names, but their individual personalities. Additional benefits of ACE include smaller class sizes, character development, a uniform that minimizes drama in the mornings, responsive staff, and an exceptional facility. I am confident that my children have a strong educational foundation and love of learning that will serve them well going forward.... Read 7 reviews
