Admissions
The admissions process has three steps:
1. Student Application
2. Student and Parent Interview
3. Student Registration
If you have any questions, please contact the school office. At any time during the admissions process, we encourage you and your child(ren) to visit us. We would be pleased to schedule a tour of the school and a visit.
Step One: Student Application
To apply, please submit the following documents to our school office:
- Student Application Form
- Copy of the student’s most recent report card, if available
- Please refer to our Admissions Policy and Parent/Student Handbook for more information
Step Two: Interview
After student application, new parent(s) and student(s) must meet with the school administrator. This is an opportunity to observe classes, tour the school, meet with potential teachers, and understand the school’s mission, vision, and function. To set up an interview, please contact the school office.
Step Three: Registration
To register your child(ren) for enrollment in New Covenant Christian School, please refer to and submit the following documents to our school office:
- Student Registration Form
- Volunteer Application

Tuition
2022-2023 Tuition & Grant Programs
NCCS is committed to working with our families to make sure that Christian education is accessible for their children; but ultimately, financing a Christian education is each family’s responsibility. Our tuition grant and aid program is based on a family’s financial position and available scholarship funds which are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. NCCS may award up to 50% of a family’s tuition costs.
To see if you qualify for a tuition grant, please complete an application online through FACTS here. There will be a fee charged by FACTS to process this application. Once submitted, you will be notified of any awarded grant and aid within two weeks. Applications for the 2022-2023 school year will open on April 15, 2022.

Fundraising Expectation
Tuition payments alone do not cover the annual expenses of NCCS. In order to keep tuition low, we expect school families to participate in school-wide fundraisers. Participation can take many forms based on the skills and time-availability of families. But by working together, we can meet our financial goals, grow relationally, and support the lives that are changed through NCCS. For more information on opportunities to help meet the school’s financial needs, please call the school office at 517-323-8903.
New Student Registration
Registration begins March 15, 2022 for K4 & K5 students and March 21, 2022 for new students in grades 1-12.
Tuition Payment Options
- Full tuition payments are due in the School office by June 1, 2022 (or within 2 weeks of acceptance if school has not begun) in order to receive a 3% discount. If school has begun, full tuition payment is due upon enrollment to qualify for a 3% discount.
- Monthly payments are required through the FACTS automatic payment plan. Tuition payments are withdrawn on the 20th of the month. Families enrolled before June 10 begin payments on June 20. Families enrolled after June 10 are required to pay one tuition payment within two weeks after registration. Regardless of your enrollment date, your last payment will be withdrawn on May 20, 2023. Thus, returning and new families enrolled before June 10 are on a 12-month payment plan. Questions regarding this plan should be directed to the school’s finance office at accounting@nccswarriors.org.
Tuition Credit Programs
Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
We are pleased to share some ways to receive credit on next year’s tuition. You may begin your participation at any time.
Please contact the individual Program Coordinators if you have specific questions or need additional information.
Volunteer Program Coordinator: Danielle Cornelius: tapnccs@gmail.com.
TAP enables you to buy gift certificates to many of your favorite restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, and retail stores through www.shopwithscrip.com. Payment is made online through Presto Pay. These gift certificates have been purchased from more than 125 retailers with discounts ranging from 2-20%. You will be able to purchase the gift certificates at face value and the amount of the retailer’s discount is passed on to you in the form of a tuition credit (minus a less than 1% fee that NCCS uses to maintain the program). This is the same successful program that many other Christian schools use and is sometimes referred to as TRIP or SCRIP. TAP is generally not available during the summer months.
