School Reviews

My Kids have attended NSCA for 5 years now. The school offers a sound bible based education. Their focus is placed on ensuring my child has the academic learning to succeed, but more importantly the sound ethics and morals given by scripture. They are finally a K-12 program and I am so excited about this. It is a great alternative for the public education system for Tioga and Tompkins County residents.
