…not just what to know, but how to think.
…not just how to take a test, but how to learn.
…not just how to feel, but what to love.
…not just how to make a living, but how to live.

Wesley Price
Class of 2014 | Christopher Newport University, 2018
B.A. in Communication Studies
Product Manager at Public Relay
“New Covenant’s unique approach to writing and research built a strong foundation that supported me through college and has allowed me to excel in my career as a Product Manager creating solutions to complex problems.”

Perry Mundy
Class of 1998 | Liberty University, 2003
B.S. in Exercise Science
Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant & Certified Pedorthist at Select Rehabilitation, Virginia Sport and Spine, and Locomotion Orthotics LLC
“New Covenant Schools gave me the opportunity to be a big fish in a small pond; the smaller class sizes and teacher to student ratio allowed me to grow as an individual rather than be a number. This has translated directly into my current field of work where I am a leader in pedorthic intervention around the greater Lynchburg area.“

Claudia Darden
Class of 2015 | James Madison University, 2019 | George Washington University, 2021
B.A. in Communication Sciences and Disorders
M.A. in Speech and Language Pathology
“At New Covenant, my teachers encouraged me to share ideas and held my thoughts with respect. Being treated as a peer in conversation with adults who I looked up to has shaped a confidence in my own thinking. This has had a positive impact on every aspect of my life after graduating.”
