As a former student, this school is terrible. The teachers, with a handful of exceptions, is…read morehorrible, and clearly picks favorites. I have had multiple teachers literally scream insults in my face. I also have had teachers steal things from me. While i went here, there was also a really bad bullying issue in my class, and the staff did nothing about it. The lunch is practically in-edible, and I've gotten sick from it multiple times. The nurse is horrible, she constantly insulted me and other students, and would refuse to see me if she didn't feel like it. The education is okay, but for sure not the best. They are also horrible with students who have learning differences, coming from someone who has learning differences. If I could change my choice to go here, I would. Please do not make your kids go through the experience of going here.

Full disclosure: I was an employee of the Highrock Covenant Preschool, now the New Covenant…read morePreschool, for the 2010-2011 academic year as an Assistant Preschool Teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in Child Development from Tufts University, and am Preschool Lead Teacher and Infant/Toddler Teacher certified by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education & Care. That said, this preschool was, by far, the most dynamic, caring, and stimulating preschool I've ever had the privilege to work for! New Covenant is a preschool motivated by the Christian faith. Grace is said before snack, and positive Bible stories are often shared in the morning circle. The Christian faith inspires the school's dedication to thanksgiving, forgiveness, and honesty. The classrooms are well-equipped with a variety of stations and activities. They are clean, meticulously organized, and children-focused. The schedules are intentionally built to foster creativity and support learning while maintaining a four-year-old's attention span. The teachers are extremely well-qualified and deeply compassionate. There is intentional and frequent communication between teachers and parents, and teachers are seen as partners in the development of the children. Academically, the school thoroughly prepares its pupils for kindergarten and beyond. Besides the essential social skills that every kindergartener needs in order to succeed, New Covenant teaches age-appropriate mathematics and literacy, adapted to each child's individual level. Student progress is recorded and analyzed to maximize the efficiency of lesson plans. The arts are a priority, and music is often included as a tool in the lesson plans. I would highly recommend this school for parents of all faith backgrounds.

The teachers are amazing and the admin staff is great! The principal works hard to ensure you as a parent are happy with your child's education. Unfortunately the risk with sending a child to private school is the lack of services that public school has. We have been at the school for many years and the turn over is not anything crazy like you see at any other school :) strongly recommend!
