Academics

New Covenant Academy offers education Pre-K through 12th grade. These classes are split into 3 main categories: elementary, middle school, and high school. Elementary includes grades Pre-K through 5th grade. Middle school includes 6th and 7th; high school includes grades 8th through 12th.

New Covenant Academy has improved its Extended Learning Center. The ELC is designed to be an extension of a child's regular classroom.

     From there, they go their separate ways to history, science, Spanish, math, and English classes. The high school is run on a 7-period schedule. 1st through 5th periods are before lunch, while the remaining two are after lunch. This schedule is held throughout the 5-day week. Gym is held on Mondays, music class is on Wednesdays, and chapel is on Thursdays, led by the worship team.

The "Academy of Reading" is a computer program used by NCA to help students develop better fluency and comprehension in reading. This provides exercises in sound matching, decoding, phonics, and comprehension. A student who is successful in reading is better equipped for studying in other subjects.

Athletics

New Covenant Academy has offered a variety of sports. Current sports include soccer, basketball, and track and field. Baseball, softball, and volleyball have been offered by NCA in the past.

New Covenant also wants the students to have fun with sports, but the students also need to be doing well academically: they must have a grade point average of at least 70% and cannot have a failing grade, or will be ineligible to play that sport for one week or until their grades improve.

Clubs and extracurricular activities vary from year to year; permanent ones include ski club, worship team, student council, and yearbook.
