Our main task is to 'connect our pupils with Christ's principles.' We desire to take our students into God's Word for Him to lecture us, then take tose lessons into the 'lab' of daily life.

When someone says that we have not done enough to scholarship students, we give out over $55,000.00 to qualified families to assist them with their tuition. These monies are donated to us and we pass it along to deserving families who qualify through an application process.

We have introduced several new class offerings to our core curriculum and plan on adding more in 2006-07 school year! I'm excited at what God is continuing to do at NCCA!
