School Notes Overview:

Established in 1952, Norfolk Christian Schools is a nondenominational, fully accredited Christian day school offering innovative Pre-K (age 3) through grade 12 programs. We strive to introduce Jesus Christ to our students through a solid college preparatory curriculum and dedicated faculty who are second to none. Our mission at NSC is three-fold.

The mission is supported through the core values of relationship, leadership, truth, worship, stewardship, ambassadorship and partnership. Training our students to integrate these values into daily activities creates an atmosphere centered on knowing Christ and making Him known to the world.
