The Covenant School - Nashville

What The Covenant School - Nashville does

The Covenant School is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) Christian school located at 33 Burton Hills Blvd in Nashville, Tennessee, operating as a ministry of Covenant Presbyterian Church. Founded in 2001 and currently employing 23 staff, the school serves children from PreSchool through 6th grade across four academic divisions (PreSchool-PreK, K-2nd, 3rd-4th, and IGNITE for 5th-6th), with an 8:1 student-to-teacher ratio, 50% of faculty holding advanced degrees, and 70% of teachers with 5+ years of experience. Its core product is a Christ-centered academic program integrating faith with arts (performing, visual, music), athletics (cross country, soccer, basketball, cheerleading, golf, track & field), and student-life programming; supporting services include Learning Services for differentiated instruction, AfterCare, and a summer camp program.

The school generates revenue primarily through recurring annual tuition (2026-2027 rates range from $9,210 for 3-day PreSchool to $20,700 for 6th grade, with a $1,000 discount for Covenant Presbyterian Church members), supplemented by The Covenant Fund annual giving program and the 'This Is the Day' capital campaign for a permanent campus. Ancillary fee-based streams include AfterCare ($20 drop-in to $2,500 annually) and Summer at Covenant Camp ($120-$375 per camp session). Customer segments are Nashville-area families seeking individualized, faith-based private education, acquired through a structured admissions process anchored by community referrals, the school website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo), and on-campus tours.

Following the March 27, 2023 tragedy in which six community members died, the school has focused on healing and renewal while launching the multi-year 'This Is the Day' capital campaign to relocate from leased church space to a purpose-built permanent campus. Operations are governed by a Board of Trustees and supported by a dedicated advancement office; technology infrastructure consists of the RenWeb/FACTS family portal for student information management and the thecovenantschool.com website for admissions and content.
