The Covenant School is preparing to relocate, as its lease with Covenant Presbyterian Church is set to expire after the 2026–2027 school year, WSMV reports.
A new property in West Nashville has been identified for the school’s next chapter. According to a parent, the school’s Building Vision Committee has now placed seven lots under contract along Highway 70, between Brook Hollow Road and Vossland Drive. The 14-acre property, which is already zoned for school use, sits less than three miles from Covenant’s current location, adds WSMV.
To fund the transition, Covenant has launched an $85 million capital campaign titled “This is the Day.” The campaign website states “The Covenant School is in a short-term lease at our current campus—an arrangement that allowed us to return to our beloved campus, but one that is only temporary – we must relocate to a new campus after the 2026-2027 school year. We are thrilled to have found the “where,” and we find ourselves in a unique season of excitement, and urgency.”
A source tells WSMV that the funds include $72 million for construction and $8.3 million for the land. The school hopes to break ground by spring 2026 but must raise $14 million before construction can begin.
Key goals of the new campus include creating child-focused learning environments, designing spaces that foster community, prioritizing school safety, promoting outdoor play, supporting the school’s long-term future, and growing performing arts opportunities.
The move follows the 2023 tragedy at The Covenant School, after which the church provided the school a temporary three-year lease to remain on campus.
The school’s leadership says the new site will help build a lasting home where students are supported and prepared for lives of purpose.
