About Us Your child's journey from pre-school to graduation is filled with changes, challenges and new worlds to explore. At New Covenant Academy, our goal is to guide youth on that odyssey of discovery, with God as our navigator. Our Christ-centered educational program prepares students to excel not only in academics, but also in life. Within the framework of our curriculum, we reinforce daily the values instilled at home and in the church. Our mission is to help each student reach his or her God-given potential and become an effective ambassador for Christ. NCA offers grades Pre-K to 12
At New Covenant Academy, we integrate God's Word into every area of our school program. This focus on training of the whole child helps our students grow not just academically but spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and emotionally. We teach critical thinking skills as well as respect for others. Our commitment to an orderly, disciplined environment enables our teachers to do what they do best - teach - and our students to excel. Ninety-two percent of NCA high school students performed in the upper half of the nation (at or above 50th N/PR) on the Basic Stanford Achievement Test.
Our students have an outstanding record
of academic achievement. That's because we do things a little
differently here at New Covenant. Classes are small so students
get a lot of individual attention. The most important thing to know about our highly qualified faculty is simply this: they are dedicated to Christ and committed to kids. They're here because they love to teach. We have 18 full-time and part-time faculty, many with advanced degrees.
Our graduates have a track record of
success. Typically 90% of NCA's graduating seniors go on to college.
Most are accepted at the college of their choice, and many receive
academic scholarships. Several recent graduates have received
scholarships in excess of $36,000.
Parents are partners in the educational process at New Covenant. You'll find parents volunteering at New Covenant every day school is in session. Each classroom has a parent volunteer who shares their expertise and helps with special projects and a field trips. In addition, our cafeteria program is completely volunteer-run. The parent run New Covenant Academy auxiliary is well known throughout the area for services offered and events sponsored. Youth of any denomination, nationality, race or cultural background are welcome at New Covenant. Our projected enrollment of just over 200 students includes representatives from 38 area churches covering three counties. As a school founded on the principles of love, compassion and unity, we ask that students and parents support our efforts to provide Christ-centered education. All students must apply for admission each year. Registration acknowledges the willingness of students and their parents to abide by school policies.
