We did a lot of research and fell in love with Norfolk Christian. Our daughter started there in pre-K3 and has been there for 5 years and counting. She loves the teachers, staff and all of the fun activities that they plan each quarter.As parents we really like the small class sizes, 12-13 students, compared to public schools that can reach up to 30 students. The curriculum is second to none and we really like the Christian based learning as well. The school is great at communicating with parents about school activities, closings/delays and upcoming events. If we had it to do all over again we would definitely choose Norfolk Christian again!

I am an alumna who now has a high schooler as well as a 2017 graduate. After my own experience of all 12 years in the family of Norfolk Christian, I knew I wanted my own kids to come here and it has been the best decision I could have made for them. My oldest got into all 4 colleges he applied to as a senior and attended his first choice school. He did so having teachers who loved and invested in him while he was with them and regularly keep up with him now that he is gone. My youngest is a junior with completely different skills and interests and she too could not be happier. From an athlete to an artist, they have both thrived at NCS. I love, love, love it here and am so thankful for the wonderful people God put in my children's lives.
