New Covenant School

What New Covenant School does

New Covenant School is a private, non-profit PK3-12 classical Christian school located at 303 Simpson Road in Anderson, South Carolina, operating under the authority of New Covenant Church and governed by a Board of Trustees. The school delivers a Christ-centered, liberal arts education built on the Trivium model (Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric) and aligned with the Society for Classical Learning network, supplemented by Charlotte Mason methodologies in the lower grades and Singapore Math across foundational levels. Instructional programs are organized into four academic divisions: Preschool (K3-K4 half-day), Lower School (K-5), Upper School (6-12), and Scholé, a homeschool collaborative launched in 2023 that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays for K-8 students.

The school's core offering is complemented by co-curricular programs including SCACS Division 1-A athletics (cross country, boys and girls basketball, volleyball), a fine arts department covering theater, visual arts, and music, and a House System introduced in Fall 2017 that structures cross-grade community among Upper School students. Operational infrastructure runs on RenWeb for admissions, the FACTS Family Portal for student information management, Google Calendars for scheduling, and a BigCartel-hosted Covey's Supply branded merchandise store.

New Covenant School generates revenue primarily through tuition and fees, supplemented by an annual Covenant Fund drive with a $100,000 participation-based goal and modest transactional revenue from the school store. Tuition is not publicly disclosed and requires direct contact with the Admissions Office; the school offers a Variable Tuition Program for needs-based assistance and accepts the SC Education Scholarship Trust Fund. Customer acquisition is event-driven and community-led, relying on Open House events, personal tours, and parent word-of-mouth referrals rather than paid marketing channels.
