Covington Academy

Covington Academy began as a dream of founder and principal Amanda McCullough, who envisioned a more inclusive and unique educational experience for her young son. After years in education, she sought a school where small class sizes, the teaching of cursive, abundant hands-on activities, and lasting friendships would foster a strong sense of community, Christian morals, and academic excellence.

What started as a small tutoring center, A Time 4 Learning, in the historic Porterdale Mill Lofts, has since flourished into a fully accredited educational institution. Moving from Porterdale to Covington city limits and finally to its current 17-acre campus just outside the city, Covington Academy has grown from just 30 students to over 300, with alumni now sending their own children here—a testament to its legacy and the student experience.

More than a school, Covington Academy is a family. This spirit of connection and excellence is what sets us apart. Today, Amanda continues to guide CA’s growth and is seen daily in school drop-off lines and cheering at sporting events. This is the Covington Academy difference.
