Our History
In 1979, Covenant Life Church began an educational ministry for families. We had roughly 40 students walk through our doors that first year. Now 31 years later, Covenant Life School is a dually accredited K-12 Christian day school with a strong academic tradition, a competitive interscholastic athletics program, and a pervasive emphasis on character development and spiritual formation. Located in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., Covenant Life School offers enrollment to families who are members of local churches.
In 1995, a high-school program was added and the first class of seniors graduated in June 1998. Since then CLS has graduated more than 225 students. Graduates have enrolled in the following institutions and more: American University, Catholic University, Eastern University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, Gettysburg College, Grove City College, Montgomery College, University of Maryland--Baltimore County (UMBC), University of Maryland--College Park, Villanova University, Messiah College, Syracuse University, Liberty University, Stevenson University, Washington University, Westchester University, William and Mary, and the Corcoran School of Art & Design. Covenant Life School continues to be a growing school distinguished by a deep level of Christian commitment, a pervasive emphasis on character, and high academic standards.
