ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

At Covenant, we are a community of like-minded believers who desire to prepare for lives of servant-leadership in any number of pathways of God's calling. To that end, we admit students who profess faith in Jesus Christ and who we think will do well in our rigorous academic program.

A written personal testimony is one component of the admissions process.

Academic requirements for admission include a high school GPA of 2.5 or above and a New SAT of 1500 (or 1000 considering critical reading and math only) or above or ACT of 21 or above.

If you do not meet these minimum requirements, you must submit the original copy of a graded essay and other essay answering one of two questions.
