Highlights of 2025 @The Covenant Academy

A Year of Growth, Celebration, and God’s Faithfulness

The year 2025 was a landmark year for TCAD. It was filled with milestones that reflected God’s provision, strong leadership, spiritual growth, and memorable celebrations. As we reflect on the year, these twelve highlights capture moments that shaped our journey and strengthened our community.

1. End-of-Year Conclusion: Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken

We concluded the year with deep gratitude to God, declaring His faithfulness over TCAD. The theme “Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken” reflected a year of preservation, fulfilment, and answered prayers.

One of our greatest testimonies in 2025 was the visible academic improvement and spiritual growth of our children. TCAD remained committed to raising sound minds and godly character, and the fruits of this commitment were evident throughout the year.

3. Provision of Two Years’ Rent

The year began with a strong testimony of provision. By God’s grace, 80% of the required two years’ rent of 10million was raised in a remarkable turn, the landlord graciously accepted only one year’s rent, further easing the school’s burden and affirming God’s favour.

The website marked a new phase of visibility, communication, and outreach for TCAD.
