It's important for young artists to have a vision for where art could take them next. Upper school art students toured VCU Arts and @vmfamuseum to gather ideas about what a career in the arts may hold. #WeAreCovenant #arts #Charlottesville #Richmond #CLAS

It can be tempting to disconnect from our history. Western Civilization students got to surmount that barrier, getting up close to real artifacts from the attack on Normandy Beach on D-Day. #WeAreCovenant #WWII #Normandy #Charlottesville #history #CLAS
