The Covenant School of Dallas

Mission and Purpose

Covenant exists to glorify God by equipping students with the tools necessary to pursue a lifetime of learning so that they may discern, reason, and defend truth in service to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The purpose of classical Christian education is the formation of an authentic human being. This is a soul-shaping endeavor. Covenant equips children to learn independently, think critically, analyze logically, and express themselves with clarity and purpose.

The Covenant Fund-Projects

Your gift to The Covenant School provides much-needed resources for our most pressing needs through the The Covenant Fund. The Covenant Fund supports student experiences, teacher development, Tuition Assistance, and highest priority projects, touching every area of the school. It equips teachers and staff with the tools they need to serve our students. It supports much needed funding for tuition assistance to make classical Christian education affordable for qualified students. Finally, it strengthens the programs, curriculum, and facilities at the School. 

This year, we began a two-year comprehensive Covenant Fund giving goal of $2.52 million, aligned with our Fortifying the Foundation initiatives. This goal includes annual needs for ’25-’26 and ’26-’27, a large capital need detailed below, and a strategic reserve for planning and design work on the future Grammar building.

The Covenant Fund brings together various fundraising efforts into one giving goal. These efforts include our Golf Tournament, Auction, Community Partners Program, North Texas Giving Day, End-of-Year giving, Strategic Planning for the Grammar Building, as well as other general and restricted gifts cultivation.

Areas of impact for '25-'27:

• Student Experiences
• Teacher Development
• Tuition Assistance
• Highest Priority Project

Built in 2007, Frank Miller Field was the first permanent facility that Covenant families built. The turf may seem like grass and ground, but it’s more than that. It is the ‘front porch’ of our school. Every student sets foot on it. It welcomes guests. It gathers our community. It builds the Covenant family. It is not just a field. It is a tool of ministry.

Every 8-10 years, synthetic turf must be replaced to ensure proper performance and safety due to wear and tear, heavy use, and UV sun exposure. We spend considerable energy annually caring for the field, but even our good care cannot safely extend its life beyond the outermost recommended timeframe. Our field was last replaced in 2017, so it's time to make a plan to address the turf replacement now. We plan to take 2 years to achieve our giving goal.

The Covenant Fund takes care of Tuition Assistance first, then tackles a highest priority project. With the Lord’s provision and the generosity of donors, if we have Tuition Assistance funds secured before the Auction, it will allow us to raise money for a specific project which is not budgeted with tuition dollars.

Our community is dedicated to fostering a culture of Christian hospitality, belonging, and "love of neighbor" for everyone, including all guests who visit. Your partnership makes a difference for Covenant students, families, faculty, and alumni now and in the future.

We are grateful to the Communities Foundation of Texas for covering all transaction fees, so 100% of all donations go directly to Covenant.

Thank you for your support, and Non Nobis!
