Covenant Christian School, a local private school, has recently announced the expansion of their facilities. The school has experienced increased enrollment over the past few years, as many private schools have also experienced.

The Board of Directors of Covenant Christian School (CCS) is planning for the expansion of the school beyond the facilities of Smyrna Presbyterian Church (SPC) , located on Atlanta Road, where the school is currently housed.  The Board’s immediate plans call for the addition of approximately 4000 square feet of classrooms in the form of modular buildings to be placed on the grounds of SPC. 

This space will augment the space the school is currently using in the church.  The Board is currently planning and working with SPC, the modular building contractor used at Whitefield Academy and Smyrna city officials to assure having the additional classroom space in place for use at the beginning of the 2008/2009 school year. 

The Board is selecting upgrades to the exterior finishes of the modular buildings to assure that they will complement the architecture of SPC and will be aesthetically pleasing to students, members of the SPC congregation and the Smyrna community. The Board enthusiastically looks forward to housing some of our 2008/2009 students in these new buildings.

The modular buildings that the Board will have in place for the 2008/2009 school year are an interim step in the Board’s long-range plans to provide a permanent building for CCS.  The Board is beginning a campaign to raise $2.5M to pay for construction of this permanent building. 

Although the Board’s plans for this building are in the formative stage, it envisions a building with a gymnasium/auditorium, lunchroom facilities and offices on the first floor and classrooms on the second floor.  The Board wants this building to be large enough to accommodate future growth, both in terms of student population and additional grades.

In celebration of this exciting time in the history of CCS, the community is invited to join the school for our Spring Celebration, to be held on Saturday, March 15th, from 6-9pm.  The evening will include live entertainment by a local comedy group, silent and live auctions, door prizes and refreshments.  If you or your business would like to make a donation to the auction, you can do so by contacting the school at 770.435.1596.  You may also purchase tickets through the school office.
