    History


    Covenant Christian School was founded in 1991 in Hamilton, Massachusetts. It began with students in pre-kindergarten through grade six. In 1993, the school moved to the Second Congregational Church in North Beverly with a student body of 35. In 1996, grades 7 and 8 were added to the program.
    In 2001, a strategic plan was completed that included relocating to a new facility, expanding the lower grades to two sections each, and adding grades 9–12. In 2005, the bBoard of directors voted unanimously to move the school to West Peabody, Massachusetts. CCA purchased and renovated the West Peabody Office Park, originally the John F. Kennedy Junior High School (part of Peabody Public Schools). CCA began meeting in the new facility on September 15, 2005. At this time, the name was changed from Covenant Christian School to Covenant Christian Academy. In September 2006, a high school program was added and 20 freshmen began classes.
    On November 18, 2009, CCA was approved by the NEAS&C commission for accreditation. On December 12, 2009, CCA received approval for accreditation by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
    On June 12, 2010, Covenant Christian Academy celebrated Commencement Exercises for the Class of 2010, the inaugural 12th grade class. By September 2016, enrollment climbed over 270 students, including ten international students, and Covenant Christian Academy entered its 25th year.
