High School

At the high school level, NCA prepares students for the university experience by expanding the student’s knowledge and abilities through challenging classes, participation in fine arts, championship athletic programs, and other extracurricular activities.

Our program is designed to provide students with an opportunity to establish an academic record that enables them to attend the college of their choice. In addition to a wide variety of basic courses and electives, NCA offers students the opportunity to participate in art, band, chorus, drama, and athletics.

We are committed to offering young people a source of truth, strength, and vision for living in today’s changing world. The key to our program is balance – guiding each student as they search to find this important balance between the spiritual, academic, and social elements of their lives.

At NCA, a student will not be lost in the crowd. Small classes ensure special attention to each student as an individual. While expectations are high, there is an atmosphere of encouragement and an environment of challenge.

We appreciate the opportunity to be a part of each student’s life and are excited about what God is doing at NCA.
