Family Spotlight - Meet the Bruce's

New Covenant School is truly a family of families united around our mission to present every student complete in Christ. Meet one of our like-minded families here…

When our oldest child was about to turn three years old, my husband and I began looking for preschools, and we quickly learned that Anderson has many excellent options for preschool. However, when we toured New Covenant and met with the preschool director and Headmaster, we knew something was really special about this school. 

My husband and I both received public school education and we truly never considered anything different for our children until we were introduced to the Classical Christian Education (CCE) model that New Covenant offers. 

We love how the CCE focus changes with the growing child’s mind. In the preschool/elementary years when their brains are like sponges, the children spend time memorizing facts and verses. The middle school years are focused on logic as they begin to challenge the ways of the world. The high school years are focused on forming and defending their own opinions as they prepare to go out into the world. 

This model of learning was quite different than the way my husband and I were educated, and while there was nothing wrong with our education, we both desired to have our girls go to a school where they would learn and grow in developmentally appropriate ways, with like-minded families and with a curriculum that was rooted in Christ. 

However, the superb education they receive is not all academic. They are taught important life lessons such as how to be a good friend, how to be a helper, how to pray for others, how to serve others, and how to put others before yourself. These are not natural things for young children to do and it reinforces the lessons we try to teach them at home. 

In the two and a half years that we have had our girls at New Covenant, we have seen significant spiritual and academic growth as well as substantial character development.  It has been easy for our children (and ourselves) to develop life-long friendships with the staff and other families due to the family oriented atmosphere at NCS.

If you want to ensure that your children have a solid educational foundation, smaller class sizes, warm and welcoming teachers, and staff who use a Biblical framework for all learning, then New Covenant School is the school for you!
