FL Gov. Ron DeSantis and Others Commend Covenant Journey Academy

FL Gov. Ron DeSantis and Others Commend Covenant Journey Academy

ORLANDO, FL — Covenant Journey Academy has just received further recognition from Florida’s leaders for providing excellent online education for students of all ages. Letters recently came in from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, U.S. Senator Rick Scott, U.S. Representative Cory Mills, Florida House Representative Rachel Plakon, Oviedo Mayor Megan Sladek, and Orange County Commissioner (District 3) Mayra Uribe.

Gov. DeSantis commends “the faculty and staff of Covenant Journey Academy (CJA) for providing high-quality, biblically-grounded online education for Florida’s K-12 students. … I am confident that your continued commitment to the education of the students at CJA will be rewarded.”

Sen. Rick Scott’s praise for CJA said, “On behalf of all Floridians, it is my honor to express my gratitude to Covenant Journey Academy for your dedication to providing students with a world-class education and your commitment to making religious education an option for Florida families. Thank you for guiding your community in prayer and for providing a pillar of strength and perseverance for Florida students.”

Rep. Mills expressed his gratitude for Covenant Journey Academy, what he calls “a remarkable resource for private schools, homeschoolers, and families.” He lauds the development, implementation, and management of CJA’s online K-12 programs, the dual enrollment opportunities that are available, and the impressive benefits that CJA provides to both individual students and the community at large. “I know firsthand that with hard work, faith, and an excellent education that anything is possible. Our district is well served by the consistent and extensive efforts of [CJA]. Thank you for your leadership and for preparing students for lifelong success.”

Rep. Plakon shares: “I have had the honor of supporting Covenant Journey Academy from its earliest days and celebrating each of its milestones. Your dedication to student success and the positive impact you have on families across Florida is truly commendable. This year, your remarkable achievements … reflect the academy’s commitment to expanding access to quality Christian education for even more students and families.”

Mayor Sladek wrote: “Your program appears to be one of the most flexible around, giving kids who might otherwise be exclusively homeschooled access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses, six different languages, and even dual enrollment that could lead to an Associate in Arts degree. … While so many parents have incredible knowledge and wisdom to pass on, not every parent can be a subject matter expert in every field, and the hybrid approach CJA offers fills a void for our community. Keep up the great work and creativity!”

Commissioner Uribe says, “In a time when homeschooling and innovative learning models are transforming education, Covenant Journey Academy is a beacon for families seeking rigorous academics anchored in biblical values. Your partnerships with churches, schools, and community organizations further strengthen the fabric of our community. Keep up the outstanding work as you prepare students not only for academic success but also for lives of purpose and service.”

“On behalf of everyone here at CJA, I want to thank each leader who has taken the time to recognize our dedication to children, families, educational excellence, school choice, and the success of our students,” says CJA Founder and Chancellor Mat Staver. “It’s an honor to receive such encouragement and support from officials around the great state of Florida, and we give God the glory for positioning us ‘for such a time as this’ in the advancement of Christ-centered K-12 online education.”

Covenant Journey Academy is an approved vendor for Florida scholarship students offering nearly 300 self-paced courses in Step Up for Students’ My Scholar Shop.
