Its interesting to read these reviews. I have two children that attended NFC for 12 plus years and a third one finishing now. They attend due to the fact that subject matter is taught from a Christ centered perspective and not a secular world view. They also do well to train students in most areas

Read more and 98% of their students attend colleges of all types (I don't think there would be much of aneed to teach shop, Lively Vocational may be a good alternative for those students( Students can dual enroll at TCC and they even send college instructors to campus for some classes like college English/Alg. The school has had 5-6 top graduates in the past several years to be appointed to West Point which says alot for its academic training and student work ethic. Sports is superb and the drama productions from elem to hs are excellent. Read less

I attended NFC from 5K until the middle of my 11th Grade year. The elementary school is far superior in teaching quality than the public schools around, and you will find the children at this school have a better knowledge of the basics than those in public schools. Once you get to high school though

The athletic program is superb, however, the school could use more extracurricular programs. I think you would be very wise to put your children into this school until they reach high school age. Once they reach high school age they would do better to be in a public school. Most of their students end up going on to community college or a private christian college. Read less

As a parent with two teens who have attended NFC for four years, the administration has made huge strides in increasing the academic standards each year. I am very pleased with NFC's committment to quality education. Unlike others who have posted comments, I do not resent the emphasis placed on the
... Read more Bible, but rather embrace it. Teaching the Bible and it's values is a core purpose of a Christian school. It is not NFC's job to offer every program that the public school system does but instead offer an alternative to the degradation of morals and standards of the public system. NFC does this with a staff of qualified teachers who choose to devote their lives to Christ at a sacrifice to themselves and their families economically. On a secondary note, their sports program is second to none, they offer marching and concert band, drama, choral, JROTC, and several clubs. Read less

I am a student at NFC and I would have to say I am not impressed the slightest. The teachers are often sub-standard and the administration has no idea what they are doing. Often, Religion gets in the way of the academics and there are not many EC activities. There are no career minded classes (shop,auto,journalism,Etc.)The

Recently while a teacher was out for a week, the substitute taught me more then the teacher did. With my experience at NFC I would not recommend this school.
