History of Covenant Academy

Covenant Academy had its genesis with a deepening desire for Christ-centered education for children among three like-minded families in 1987. The fathers of these families joined later with a fourth to form the first Board of Trustees to oversee the inauguration of our school with a five year old kindergarten through fourth grade program on Vineville Avenue. In the Fall of 1989, the school relocated to property on Wimbish Road in Macon where it remained five years. With the opening of the 1994 academic year came the move to our present campus on Ayers Road. With the opening of the 2001 academic year, Covenant Academy became a grammar school for grades 4K-6th.

In January of 2004, mid-way through the academic year, Covenant Academy experienced a historic transition in governance. The school's then Board of Trustees transferred the schools governance to a new Board of Trustees. Since then, Covenant has acquired additional acreage and built several new additions to our facilities. In addition to multiple sections being added in the grammar school, grades 7 through 12 have been added back to Covenant's academic program. In 2006, Covenant added its first Athletic Director, entered into GISA athletic competition, and began the school's first football program.

Overarching the life of Covenant Academy have been reliance on the grace of God, the prayers and support of His people, and a forthright commitment since our inception to providing classical curriculum and instruction squarely rooted in the Word of God. Our aim is to be found teaching for mastery and training for servant leadership in the knowledge of God.
