Covenant Christian School is an active member of Christian Schools of Florida (CSF) and the Association of Classical Christian Schools (ACCS). We are seeking accreditation from both of these agencies.

The Mission of Christian Schools of Florida

Christian Schools of Florida supports, encourages, and accredits Christian schools in the State of Florida that are committed to:

• Historic Orthodox Christianity
• Pedagogical Excellence
• Equipping students to fulfill the Cultural Mandate of Genesis 1 and the Great Commission of Matthew 28, and, thereby,
• Seeking to produce graduates who are effective agents of transformation in society, culture, and the world at large.

Christian Schools of Florida is an association of Christian schools throughout Florida who have voluntarily met the accrediting standards of the association. Christian Schools of Florida exists to promote, through accreditation, high quality, professional, biblically-based Christian schools.

The Mission of the Association of Classical Christian Schools

This is a brochure which describes ACCS (PDF).

The primary mission of this association is to promote, establish, and equip schools committed to a classical approach to education in the light of a Christian worldview grounded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. The mission of the association is both to promote the classical approach, and provide accountability for member schools to ensure that our cultural heritage is not lost again. This mission will be accomplished through the work of the Association of Classical and Christian Schools. Through these various means, ACCS seeks to set an educational standard for a unified and directed approach to classical and Christian learning.

Our mission is also to equip schools in teaching such subjects through the methodology known as the Trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric), the educational foundation of our Western culture. We believe that God will bless this approach as He has in the past, as long as it follows the principles set forth in his Word.We recognize that Christ was born in the reign of Caesar Augustus, and that Christianity took root and grew to maturity in the West. For this reason, we believe that we must teach certain subjects so that they are understood and appreciated. This includes ancient history, languages, and culture, studied in the light of biblical Christianity and its impact on western culture.

We recognize our cultural heritage as a gift from God, but in seeking to restore that heritage we by no means are intending to idolize it. Therefore, we ground all that we seek to do upon the revelation of God, both in creation and in Scripture, with the former being interpreted by the latter. The triune God of Scripture has created an ordered universe, which can only be fully known through an orderly submission to His revelation of Himself in Scripture. As Christian schools, we are seeking to equip member schools to integrate all their teaching around the revealed Word of God.
