Covenant Christian School

With a full enrollment (180 students from 3’s through 6th grade), substantial waiting list, multiple years without faculty turnover, healthy budget, and generous donor base, Covenant meets significant markers for long-term stability. But Covenant's greatest strength is that the school knows who it is; the vibrancy of the community and educational program is rooted in an unmistakable identity.

Covenant’s Head of School, John Roberts, has communicated his plan to step down as Head of School at the end of the 2026-2027 school year. Because of the challenges of replacing a Founding Head of School and ensuring and protecting Covenant's core distinctives, the school Board has approved a process whereby its next Head of School will serve alongside John in a two-year apprenticeship role, beginning in the Fall of 2025 as Associate Head of School. As Associate Head of School, Covenant's next leader will become fully immersed in the school, partner with both John and the school Board, and take on increasing responsibilities until assuming sole leadership in the Fall of 2027.

This results in a remarkable opportunity for a new leader to apprentice alongside an established leader to both learn the culture of the school and develop the skills and experiences necessary to lead the school for years to come.
