The academics and sports at this school are great, can't deny that. Most of the teachers were pretty decent but some were iffy. The reason this school is getting a low rating by me is because of the students, and lack of discipline. I was bullied endlessly the two years I went there, not one thing done about it. The kids I had to deal with were most certainly NOT Christ-like by any means. A real shame.
We couldn't be more happy with the spiritual and academic opportunities that CCS offers. Our oldest child graduated after several years at Covenant and he was well prepared to enter both college and the "real" world. We know several graduates that have been accepted into prestigious colleges and into honors programs. Every year, it seems like the majority of graduates earn some level of academic scholarship for their college education. Sports and other extracurricular activities are pursued with excellence but kept in proper perspective. Some highlights for our kids have been performing in a play at the Creighton Theater, singing in Carnegie Hall with the chorus. Tuition is in line with (or less than) other private schools that have an independent campus and a full complement of programs. There are less expensive private schools in and around Conroe but CCS provides the best value in my opinion. A new administrator was hired in 2009 and he brought a fresh perspective to a place that was already performing to our expectations. The teachers are caring, dedicated and capable. The parental involvement is high; the place is like an extension of our family.
What an awesome place! Our daughter has been to 3 other Christian schools in 11 years and it's been a rough ride. Two of those schools closed down due to somewhat 'ungodly' circumstances and the other was just a mess. The teachers and leaders at CCS truly do care for the student! They are constantly in prayer and believe me, this is rare! Sure, the tuition is up there but I believe it's worth every penny. You get what you pay for. Yes, there are a few cliques among the students but this is the real world. The new headmaster is a gem. A godly man who truly does invest his heart and soul into the Christian education of our kids. So glad he is here. The whole atmosphere of the place changed for the better under his leadership. We couldn't be happier with CCS! May God continue to bless her!
While the tuition may be rather expensive, and the administration is overbearing at some times, this school has been such a joy. The teachers are extremely helpful, not just in academics, but in your faith. The environment is amazing and that overshadows most of the 'downsides' that I see. I have made lasting friendships with many of the other students that couldn't have been made anywhere else.
This school is just way too expensive. We tried to work with the administration to suggest ways to keep the quality high yet possibly save parents some money but got no where. Example: School Uniforms cost way too much (and this is a real shame as the quality was no better than what we could have bought for half price at local discount stores) and the tuition is way too high. The lunch time meals are barely worth buying, we had to mostly pack a sack lunches. Forcing boys to dress for PE in the bathroom was bad. Like most Christian schools the teachers are great and very caring but the administration is patronizing and doesn't seem focused on the chilren, only the bottom line. I regret we were unable to continue at CCS as our child had made great friends and was truly blessed with some
CCS is a great environment. My kids love it and are happy to go to school each day. The tuition is a large part of my budget but money well spent. Buy a smaller house, get an older car or a part time job. Having my kids in a safe, loving place with excellent academics, great sports programs, and a Christ-centered atmosphere is worth the sacrifice.
CCS is a great school I have been going here for five years and I have loved every minute of it. The staff is very caring and Christ centered. The athletics is also Christ centered. Overall CCS is a great school.
Academic programs are well attended to. Sports is certainly king at this institution as it is at most. I was especially disappointed that they would promote school events on Sundays considering the fact that our family is committed to church involvement and this school claims to be also. Any school committed to these ideals should be sensitive to the fact that Sunday is a busy day for Christians. Athletics and other extra curricular activities are meant to enrich our lives as hobbies and past-times rather than become our lives. What happened to teaching our children balance? I must say that parental involvement is very much expected by the faculty and staff of CCS. This is a very strong quality of the school.
this school is a christian school. very expensive.
As parents of two students who have spent their entire school careers at Covenant Christian School (son, grade 11, daughter, grade 9), we can tell you that it has been a great blessing to our children and our family. Rarely will you find the combination of academic excellence and spiritual emphasis that is present at CCS. Give us a try. You won't want to leave!
