Our granddaughter has attended NCA since K3; she's currently in the 6th grade. NCA has been wonderful for our granddaughter, academically, socially, and spiritually. We don't think NCA gets the recognition we believe it should. Facility and Staff, by in large, is timely and responsive, and teachers are OUTSTANDING, especially Mrs. Bridges ( whom our granddaughter had K3, K5, 1st, and 2nd ). NCA genially care about their students' development. Additionally, economically, NCA is reasonably priced relative to private school expenses. Can't go wrong by trusting NCA with your child's education .

Mrs. Bridges is AWESOME! My granddaughter attended NCA for K5 and unfortunately due to financial reasons was withdrew and attended first grade in a public school setting. Just two weeks ago, my granddaughter was withdrew and is back at NCA and we could not ask for a more caring, supportive teacher for my granddaughter during this transition. KUDOS to Mr. Stewart as well!

such an amazing experience with NCA. I''m have 3 children that attend here( 5th, 7th and 11th) Each of them are honor students and very activate with community outreach programs. By far the best private school in the southern maryland area

My child is going into her third year at NCA, I see her growing in leaps and bounds academically, socially and spiritually. Her K5 and first grade teacher Mrs. Bridges has truly been a blessing to these children, I only wish she could teach 2nd grade now!! I''m looking forward to the new school year and praying that 2nd grade will be as awesome as K5 and 1st grade has been.

I am very pleased with the shool and staff. My oldest son is coming from a public setting were he was just a number in the classroom and the teachers admitted to not caring if he learned or not. He was failing academically and socially. Being in a smaller setting with more discipline and less distractions helped get himself together and bck on track. From failing to honor roll is worth every penny!!!!

I''ve believe that this school willhelp my granddaughter to become the great and successful person within, for her future. Also NCA will build her character and development her academically.
