My son has been here since 2023. He is in an ESE classroom; the teacher and paraprofessionals are just wonderful. He has come so far since coming to this school.

The school handled my child’s health concern very poorly. An office assistant posing as a nurse minimized her symptoms, communication was confusing, and pickup procedures were disorganized and dismissive. When I raised the issue with the principal, she was defensive and showed no empathy. This experience left me questioning both the school’s professionalism and concern for student safety.

Last summer (2025), my wife and I decided to transfer our daughter from her private, Christian school after observing a lack of academic progress at the school. In doing so, we toured Covenant Christian School (Covenant) and were astounded by what the school offered, from a liberal arts Christian education to a plethora of extracurricular activities, both scholastic and athletic. We were not eager to have my daughter attend a new school, but were truly impressed with Covenant. Also, during our school tour, my daughter saw several students with whom she had previously attended school; apparently, we were not the only ones having made this decision.I also liked the fact that there was an opportunity, if we chose, to have my daughter continue her high school education at Covenant. Their high school curriculum is amazing in-and-of itself. So, as we come to the end of her first year at Covenant, what are my impressions? The education is strenuous! The school sets very high academic standards with its curriculum comparable to, if not more than other private schools in Panama City. The love and care shown to the students by the staff is a joy to observe. The school engages parents as partners, both in education and in Christ. Simply, the school sets very high academic and moral standards for its students, while ensuring the school is a joy to attend. I’ve never seen my daughter so ready to go to school every morning. In addition to the academics, Covenant offers several extracurricular activities for their students, including varsity and junior varsity basketball and volleyball, art classes, a drama club, both archery and rifle clubs and a robotics team, among others. I don’t believe any other small school offers what Covenant is able to provide.Covenant simply accomplishes high academic standards supported by an exceptional offering of clubs and sports teams by having a great leadership team and a full commitment to their students from their teachers and staff. Their commitment to excellence and the success of their students is readily apparent. It took us a bit to arrive at Covenant, but the blessings have been wonderful.
