Overview
Founded in 1993 as Northeast Christian Academcy, The Covenant Preparatory School is an independent, co-educational, college-preparatory school for pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 students located in Kingwood, Texas and serving the Northeast Houston area. Covenant is committed to providing a college-preparatory education to Pre-K through grade twelve students based on Christian values and Biblical principles and to assist parents in developing individuals of strong intellect, spirit, body, and heart.
St. Martha Catholic School proudly offers a Catholic-centered learning environment where students are encouraged to walk in the footsteps of Jesus and accept responsibility as His disciples.
We believe that a partnership with school families is the foundation for success.
Our mission is guided by the Gospel values. Our Religion curriculum is based on the framework from the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB), and the core content areas (as well as the auxiliary subjects) are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), embedded with Catholic doctrine and tradition, as well as increased rigor and relevance.
