What It Means to Be Part of a Covenant School
As a Christian parent, you understand that the world is changing rapidly, and you want your child to have an academic foundation that prepares them for success — but not at the cost of their faith and values. You are searching for a school that encourages them to grow spiritually, surrounds them with like-minded peers, and reinforces the biblical truths you teach at home.
That is why San Antonio Christian School exists.
As a covenant school, SACS partners with Christian families like yours to provide an education that intentionally integrates faith and learning in a school community that shares your values.
If you are new to the idea of a covenant school, you may be wondering what it means and how it differs from other Christian schools.
At SACS, it means we covenant — or promise to join together — with families where at least one parent is a committed follower of Christ. Because of this, everyone in the school community shares a common faith and commitment to God.
You do not have to worry about competing messages or influences that contradict your family’s beliefs. Instead, you can trust that your child is in an environment where spiritual growth is nurtured, friendships are grounded in shared values, and Christ’s love is woven into every aspect of learning.
How a Covenant Partnership Shapes the SACS Experience
When families, teachers, and students share a foundation of faith, the entire school experience is transformed. Here’s how:
A Strong Christ-Centered Community
Imagine dropping your kids off at school each day knowing they are surrounded by friends and mentors who reinforce all the ideals that mean the most to you.
At SACS, families do not feel like outsiders navigating an unfamiliar system. Instead, there is a deep sense of belonging — a community where parents, teachers, and students support and encourage each other in their Christian walk and in life.
The teachers at SACS do more than educate. They disciple.
Because they are committed followers of Christ, they partner with you in shaping your child’s character, praying for them, and integrating biblical truth into their lessons. Teachers are also being discipled, so they model what it looks like to grow and learn in the Christian faith.
A Christ-Centered Curriculum
Our students receive a rigorous education that prepares them for college and beyond while being equipped with a strong spiritual foundation.
They learn to think critically, engage culture with wisdom, and approach challenges with confidence in their faith.
Long-Term Spiritual and Personal Growth
As a parent, you want your child to grow into a strong, Christ-following adult who makes wise decisions, builds healthy relationships, and lives with purpose.
The SACS covenant model creates an environment where students not only learn about God but experience Him daily, which helps them develop the faith, character, and resilience they need to stand firm in a world that challenges their beliefs.
A Parent’s Perspective
Academic excellence is important when choosing a school, but I have been overwhelmed to see how SACS can provide this excellence with a Christian worldview while spurring on each child to be the best version of themselves. I also cannot speak highly enough of the community of parents who rally together around this campus and these children. SACS is a hidden gem in our city, and I am so glad we found it!”
