Our philosophy as a Classical Christian school is built upon the Trivium: Grammar Stage (K-5), Dialectic Stage (6-8), and the Rhetoric Stage (9-12) (High School addition is coming in the very near future.) Our commitment is to biblical application and partnering with families. In addition to the usual subjects, NCA provides classroom/instrumental music, art, Latin, and sports at the Jr. Hi level. K-8 students wear uniforms, a hot lunch program is available, and extended care is available until 6 p.m.
