Covenant Christian opened in DeMotte in 1999. The school started with one ninth grade class. Initially 14 first-year (freshmen) students attended. In the three subsequent years, another grade level was added, so that by the fall of 2002, the school had freshman through senior students. In the spring of 2003 the first class graduated with 15 students, along with two exchange students who received recognition for their time at Covenant. Current enrollment now stands at about 110.
