Experience Sixth Grade At Covenant
Building foundation of academic readiness, preparing for lifelong learning.
In sixth grade, we strive to provide young boys and girls with a foundation of academic readiness built on a combination of skills and concepts, preparing them for lifelong learning. Every child should leave sixth grade with a greater love for learning, a deeper understanding of who they are in Christ, and a better knowledge of how to love the world and people around them.

Educating Covenant’s
Sixth Graders with Our Integral Curriculum
Covenant Christian School’s sixth grade class provides a well-rounded, engaging education that instills a love for learning. Students cover reading, writing, and math fundamentals while exploring science, social studies, and the world around them. As a faith-based institution, biblical teachings are integrated, nurturing spiritual growth.
Supporting Classroom Curriculars
Experiential Learning
Experiential education seeks to support curricular goals through meaningful student-to-teacher interactions beyond the classroom, typically in natural settings. These active and relational experiences enable students to connect to their learning more fully.
The Arts
Studying, recognizing, appreciating, and protecting beauty nurtures our spirits, because it explores one of the ways God has revealed Himself to His people. Covenant students explore the arts through visual arts, such as drawing, music and drama.
Academic Support
Our academic support program is a testament to our hope that each of our students would thrive academically after being given the tools that help them reach their fullest potential, and celebrate the unique gifts each of our students possess.
Technology
In today’s classrooms, technology plays a significant role in enhancing the learning experience. Teachers utilize interactive whiteboards, tablets, and educational software to engage students, support collaboration, and facilitate a deeper understanding of complex concepts. Technology is used in grades 4–6.
