Mission

We exist to glorify God by assisting parents in training their children to be Biblically-minded servant-leaders through a Reformed, Christ-centered, classical education.

A Classical and Christ-Centered Education

CHRIST-CENTERED

In all its levels, programs, and teaching, New Covenant Christian School seeks to:

A. Teach all subjects as parts of an integrated whole with the Scriptures at the center (II Timothy 3:16-17);

B. Provide a clear model of the biblical Christian life through our staff and board     (Matthew 22:37-40);

C. Encourage every student to begin and develop his relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 19:13-15)

CLASSICAL

In all its levels, programs, and teaching, New Covenant Christian School seeks to:

A. Emphasize grammar, logic, and rhetoric in all subjects (see definitions below);

B. Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and live up to his academic potential;

C. Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals.

Definitions:

Grammar: The fundamental rules and basic information of each subject.

Logic: The ordered relationship of particulars in each subject.

Rhetoric: How the grammar and logic of each subject may be clearly and effectively expressed.

Educational Philosophy 

Below are the most important philosophical elements that we at New Covenant Christian School believe distinguish our approach to education. 

• We believe that the Bible clearly instructs parents, not the Church or State, to “bring children up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.”  The Church’s commission is essentially to spread the Gospel and train believers (Matthew 28:18-20).  The State has been directed to enforce God’s laws and protect the innocent (Romans 13).  The family raises and educates children (Ephesians 6:1-4).  Therefore, under the delegation of the family, we seek to teach and discipline in a manner consistent with the Bible and a godly home environment. 
   
• We believe that God’s character is revealed not only in His Word but also in every facet of the creation.  Therefore, we teach that all knowledge can instruct us about God Himself. 
   
• God wants us to love Him with our minds as well as with our hearts, souls, and strength (Matthew 22:37).  Therefore, we seek to individually challenge children at all levels and teach them how to learn by using the centuries-old, proven classical method, incorporating instruction in Latin.
   
• We want to help parents teach their children that all they do should be done “heartily, as unto the Lord.”  Therefore, we seek to encourage quality academic work and maintain high standards of conduct.  This includes biblical discipline principles.  Many of our ideas about discipline can be found in the book, Shepherding a Child’s Heart, by Tedd Tripp and Age of Opportunity by Paul David Tripp.

Above all, parents can be confident that their student, at every stage of their development in school, will be loved with Christ’s love at New Covenant Christian School.
