Health and safety is paramount at The Covenant School of Jacksonville

Covenant’s safety team, led by our Security Director, includes their on-campus administration and administrative staff. Covenant’s faculty and staff are also vigilant in providing oversight. Health and safety not only refers to physical needs, it also refers to spiritual needs.

For physical safety, the campus is equipped with surveillance systems, gate systems, and volunteer and guest background screening.

For spiritual safety, weekly Chapels/worship services, daily Bible classes, and consistent and intentional Biblical integration is provided, taught, modeled, and practiced.
