I highly recommend Newport Christian School. My children are always excited to go school. NCS' focus on both academic and Christian education and life is commendable. We can see the outcome in our children. All the teachers, staff, and pastors are kind, loving, dedicated, and supportive. For everyone's good, they listen, and they take action. #GoNCS! #GoSeahawks!

Outstanding education in fundamentals of reading, writing, math and science in a Christian school and environment. The school challenges each student to excel in education. Christian values and a safe academic environment is so important today and NCS provides that year in and year out. The School also instructs each student in our nation's history, Founding Fathers, and current events. This is a great school, great teaching and leadership from the School's Administration and its Headmaster Mr. Cyprian. No student is left behind.

So far, so good. We are only at the beginning of the school year, and I have already seen a change in the way my son actively participates and genuinely enjoys getting up and going to school. We have had a challenging few years, but I think choosing NCS was a wise choice. All of the teachers and staff at NCS make it a point to get to know each student, and treat them as the individual that they are. They assess each student before placing them in their classes, and really focus on bringing out their best. I am so happy we found this little gem of a school.

There isn't any other school in Orange County that we would want our children in! We have 3 children at NCS and plan to see them all graduate from this great school! The staff is truly caring and works with each student according to their individual needs. The campus is beautiful (our kids LOVE the new computer lab) and the school has been adding programs and extracurricular opportunities every year. They currently have elementary and junior high sports, along with tutoring, private music lessons, and more.I can see why the school has seen such incredible growth over the last 4 years. It is such a wonderful, loving environment for kids to grow!

I absolutely love this school! My son excels and has the most wonderful teacher. She is so nurturing and caring and makes sure that every student gets the help he or she needs. Staff truly cares and is so welcoming and supportive. They are finishing building a new educational facility for next school year. So excited to start next year in this new building!
