Meet Wren Sconyers

The New Covenant School classical and Christian difference is best illustrated in the words of our seniors. Here is one of our current senior stories…

I have attended New Covenant school since kindergarten. When I think back on the many hours I have spent studying and learning within the walls of New Covenant, I cannot help but feel sentimental about the ways I have been blessed. 

As a student at New Covenant, I have been pushed to think critically and analyze new ideas and world views. Throughout my many years at New Covenant, I have been taught how to learn rather than just receiving information for a test. This classical education is something I never imagined would impact my life so greatly. Since I have been at New Covenant for such a long time, there were moments I took the gift of a Christian school for granted. As a senior, it is evident to me just how much New Covenant has shaped the woman I am becoming, and for that I am forever thankful. A common favorite characteristic of New Covenant is the community. Some of my most precious memories of growing up at New Covenant are from when older students would take the time to be friends with me. Now, as a senior, I look back and realize just how special that truly was and I strive to make an impact on younger students as my graduation approaches. One of the most significant ways New Covenant has shaped me is through athletics, most especially the basketball program. We often refer to the girls basketball team and program as a sisterhood and the sentiment could not be truer. Coach Canney has cultivated a community of girls that love basketball and love the Lord. The bond we have formed after hours of hard work and lots of devotions together is like no other. Part of a classical education is presenting well rounded students. Basketball served just that purpose in my life. I have been immensely blessed by the New Covenant basketball program. Not only have I learned the skills of basketball, but also skills I will use for the rest of my life such as perseverance, integrity, and doing all things (even layups) for the glory of God. New Covenant has given me not only a superb education, but a second family. I am exceedingly thankful to have called New Covenant my home for the past 13 years.

Lord willing, I plan to attend Clemson University or Furman University in the fall.  Thank you New Covenant for caring for me and teaching me truth for so many years.
