Mission: Covenant Preparatory School is an independent, interfaith, tuition-free middle school for boys from under-served families in the Hartford area. The school provides a rigorous academic program and supportive learning environment, in partnership with students and their families, where motivated students are offered an intellectual, ethical, physical and cultural education. The goal is to graduate young men who are academically and socially prepared for higher education, inspired to lead their lives in the pursuit of excellence, who model leadership and integrity, and are committed to their communities.
Background: Covenant Prep opened in August 2008 with 22 boys in grades 5 and 6. Grade 7 was added this school year of 2009-2010. The school is the 65th school in a nationwide network of schools that provide a rigorous academic program, sports and numerous enrichment programs and activities to prepare students well for future education. Covenant Prep currently serves 36 middle school boys from underserved families in greater Hartford.
The school is funded by the generosity of private donors and staffed almost entirely by volunteers, including six AmeriCorps classroom teachers and a core of experienced teachers who mentor the AmeriCorps staff and support curriculum design and development.
