Cannot say enough about how much I appreciated my seven years at NCCS. The teachers care intimately about the students, and the students are like family to each other. These factors have challenged me to grow as a student, not to mention as a Christian. It isn't the grades and external actions that are the focus here-- they are only indicators to the heart and the motivation behind. That is where my teachers got to me. They didn't teach me subjects, they taught me how to learn. And now I am off to the University of Notre Dame, and I am wondering how much better it could be than New Covenant. (PS- the school is PK-12 now. I did graduate, I think.)

We Love this school! I was nervous at first when we started our son in first grade. He is now finishing up this third grade and this was by far the best year ever. A very challenging curriculum but well worth it. Teachers are top notch as well as the Headmaster and the principal. I highly recommend anyone moving to this area or wanting a better education for their children to check out this school. One more thing, don't get nervous about it being a christian school, it is an incredible education, by far the best in this area. We attended another "highly" reputable private school for Kindergarten and it doesn't even compare to this school. There may be a few that are a little less expensive, but you get what you pay for.

My children have attended New Covenant Christian School for 9 years. My husband and I are thrilled with the classical education they are receiving. The teachers are amazing and truly love their jobs. They are truly being equipped to be difference makers in the world.

My children have been in this school since 2001. I am very pleased with the education they have received thus far. Wonderful teaching and administrative staff. Small class sizes (18 max.) makes this a close family within the school. Parents are always willing to help out if possible. I love the fact that the school has many volunteer positions available if that is something your interested in. Very Christ - Centered education!!

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
