New Covenant Schools does not recruit athletes from other schools or from overseas - rather, our own students get to play.
New Covenant maintains both intermural and intramural sports programs beginning in 5th grade. Students in grades 5 and higher are required to be physically active in athletics, even if they do not choose to join the team that plays others schools. The intramural program teaches the the importance of life-long healthy activity and the lessons of team play. It is part of the regular scheduled of the school day and does not require transportation from parents. More about intramural sports >>>
