Employment Opportunities

Subject to the Constitution of the United States and all applicable state and federal laws, New Covenant Christian School does not discriminate in its employment practices.

The school uses religion as a hiring criterion due to the mission and nature of our school as a faith-based, specifically Christian, institution.  The school follows the tenets of its religion in establishing employment criteria, and employees are expected to live consistent with the school’s religious tenets.  Whenever consistent with its Christian mission, New Covenant Christian School also complies with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and comparable provisions of Maryland Law.
