School History
- Our elementary school was founded in 1985 after members of Covenant Church met for a year-long season of prayer, fasting, study, and discussion about educating their children in God’s ways of wisdom and love.
- In 1987, we developed our “Daniel mission statement” and articulated the school’s Six Words: Courage, Humility, Respect, Integrity, Seeker of God, and Teachability.
- In 1996, the school had 60 students and moved from its original classroom in Park Avenue Congregational Church in Arlington to the Covenant Church location at 9 Westminster Ave in Arlington.
- In 2009, we founded Highrock Covenant Preschool, a partnership between Covenant School and Highrock Church.
- In 2012, we consolidated the preschool and elementary programs into one independent 501(c)(3) corporation under the name New Covenant School, Incorporated.
- In 2015, we added a dedicated 4 year old Pre-Kindergarten program to our Elementary School.
- In 2016, the leased preschool space in Arlington was sold to the Arlington Housing Authority. As a result, the program for 2 and 3-year-olds was suspended and the 4-year-old students were folded into the Pre-K class at 9 Westminster Avenue.
- In 2024, after 28 years at 9 Westminster Ave, Arlington, we moved the school to a new campus at 7 Clematis Road, Lexington.
