Coventry Christian School

The Upper School at Coventry Christian Schools seeks to create a community where students are known and thoughtfully challenged by faculty, staff, and administration during the important years of middle school and high school. Building on the foundations established in the Lower School, students grow not only in knowledge but also in responsibility, discernment, and Christian character as they prepare for flourishing life in Christ. 

Classes are relational and discussion based. Teachers lead students through the Great Books, carefully designed writing assignments, scientific investigation, and respectful conversation. Students learn to ask good questions, express ideas clearly, and listen to others with humility. Daily Morning Devotions, prayer, and interaction with Christian faculty shape the spiritual life of the school so that faith is not limited to Bible class but is present in every subject and in everyday school life.

We follow the historic liberal arts tradition, a pattern of education Christians have used for centuries. Our goal is not simply the accumulation of information but the formation of wise and thoughtful young adults. We seek to develop students who live according to the classical virtues of Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance, and the Christian virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. As students mature, they are given increasing independence alongside accountability. They learn to use freedom responsibly, serve others, and engage the world with confidence grounded in a biblical worldview.

In recent years Coventry has expanded its facilities to support both academic rigor and hands-on learning, including the beginning stages of a Common Arts campus where students learn skills common to all humanity, including gardening, car repair, culinary arts, and grounds maintenance. Students also have opportunities for dual enrollment coursework through Cairn University as well as participation in arts, athletics, and leadership activities within a supportive Christian community.

The Upper School enrolls approximately 260 students, and a student-faculty ratio of 7.5-to-1 allows faculty to know students individually and partner closely with families. Coventry is accredited by the Society for Classical Learning, the Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges, and the National Christian Schools Association and maintains memberships with NACCAP, College Board, SCL, ACCS, and NCSA.
