NCA has a great Pre-K program as well as K-12. The class sizes are much smaller than the local public schools, about 1/3 the number of students. The kids definitely get a lot more individual attention from their teachers. The teachers are absolutely fantastic. You can tell that they are teaching for the right reasons. The sports programs are also very inclusive.

Some of the best times of my life shared at nca. Bryan burt and Malcolm Phillips had big influences and were like 2nd fathers to us. Also, a lot of respect for coach Jody Kyzar! We always made the playoffs every year I played baseball and football.. Won state a few times in basketball but I didn't play cause I had to work .. I consider all those guys I went to school with brothers though !

We are so fortunate to call NCA our home. It is a wonderful Christian atmosphere that is more than just a school. We are one big family. The teachers and staff care about more than test scores. They are invested in our children's future and it shows!
