Welcome to New Covenant Academy Admissions

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At New Covenant Academy, we believe that education should do more than prepare students for the future—it should shape their faith, character, and leadership. We partner with families to provide a Christ-centered education that nurtures Academic Excellence, Biblical Truth and Christlike Character in a supportive community.

At NCA, students experience:

A Christ-Centered Education – Every subject is taught through the lens of Biblical truth, fostering Christ-like character and spiritual growth.

Academic Excellence – A rigorous curriculum challenges students to reach their full potential, preparing them for college, careers, and a life of confidence and purpose.

Relational Nurturing – Small class sizes create a close-knit community where students are known, loved, and supported by dedicated teachers and peers who share their values.

Partnership with Families – We walk alongside parents, reinforcing the biblical values taught at home while helping students develop strong work ethics, servant hearts, and a love for learning.

Leadership Development – Graduates leave NCA equipped to lead with confidence, contribute meaningfully to their communities, and glorify God in all they do.

      Enrollment Criteria

      New Covenant Academy is an accredited Christian school with a challenging academic program. Because of the nature of the program, certain students, (especially those who may have learning difficulties or may have trouble following directions) may have difficulty in meeting the Academy’s standards. Therefore, the admission process is designed to identify those students entering grades Junior Kindergarten (Jr. K) through 12 who demonstrate motivation and the ability to fulfill the Academy’s academic, character, spiritual, and behavior requirements.

      In reviewing applications, the Admissions Committee considers the following criteria:

      • Academic performance
      • Standardized test results
      • Teacher and church leader recommendations
      • Individual and family characteristics

      Entrance Age

      Students must meet the following minimum age requirements for entrance:

      Junior Kindergarten:  4 years old by August 1
      Kindergarten:             5 years old by August 1

       

      New Covenant Academy admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school, and does not discriminate in the administration of any of the programs of the school.
