History
New Covenant Christian High School was founded in 1995 as an extension of the New Covenant elementary and intermediate educational program offered to the Bronx community by the New Covenant Christian Church since 1985. The educational program of the Church was the vision of our leader Bishop Joseph A. Alexander who foresaw a Christian School program with academic excellence in the Bronx.
The School started in the fall of 1985 with twenty-five (25) students and their parents. That fall, three (3) classrooms in the lower level of a small church were dedicated to the training of children in a God honoring environment. Each year, the numbers of students continue to grow and space to accommodate them also presented a challenge.
In the fall of 1990, an educational complex with fourteen standard classrooms, an auditorium, gym/cafeteria and supporting offices were dedicated for continuing advancement of the educational ideal that was in the original vision. The School continued to graduate students in grades five (5) and eight (8) for nine years.
A clear record showed that one hundred percent of New Covenant graduates completed High School and 98% went to College. It was clear evidence that the educational philosophy of New Covenant was working. The establishment of the High School Division in 1995 was therefore, to complete a work well done at the most crucial level.
