NSCA uses a variety of books and resources. Depending on the subject and grade level, we choose materials that offer solid academic and/or spiritual content. When teaching from secular texts, a Christian worldview is brought into the classroom through lectures, activities and home assignments. Previous curricula choices have included BJU Press, IEW, Math-U-See, and Apologia, but they may change from year to year depending on suitability and availability.

Students attend chapel at every grade level to foster and strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world and Lord of their lives, through praise, worship, and messages that glorify God through the power of the Holy Spirit. Elementary Chapel is a fun, interactive time that helps engage our PreK through 5th-grade students. Middle and High School chapels are longer and include more student interaction.

In Elementary, families are encouraged to begin their home days with a family Bible time. In PreK - 1st Grade, parents can then move into the home subjects, Math and Language Arts. After home subjects, parents review take-home folders for any assigned activities from NSCA.After completing any home subjects, such as math, 2nd- through 5th-graders will have assignments from NSCA to complete with the help of their parents, which may include History, Bible, Language Arts, and Science, as outlined in each class's syllabus.  In Middle School, families are also encouraged to begin their days at home with a family Bible time and to help students develop their own secret place time with the Lord (Matt. 6:6). Students will then complete assigned work according to each class's syllabus. Parents are still responsible for educating their child in the subjects introduced at NSCA. This is done by checking their work, answering questions, helping them study for tests, and reading along or helping solve homework questions as needed.​In High School, students are encouraged to develop their personal secret place time with the Lord (Matt. 6:6). Students will then complete assigned work according to the syllabus from each class. High school students should be relatively independent, but as the primary educators, parents will need to be available to answer questions and provide help as needed. It is important that parents stay in contact with their chosen umbrella school to ensure their student is on track with credits needed to graduate.

Yes, all of our classes are Christ-centered and taught in accordance with the Bible. Even when using a secular text, the students are taught that truth is absolute, not relativistic, and that it comes from the Bible. Truth can only be understood by living a life submitting to the lordship of Jesus Christ, who said in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

Absolutely! We love having parents and grandparents help with labs, hands-on activities, lunch/special lunches, parties, Field Day, etc. NSCA parents can also get involved through our Parent Ambassador program, which helps to plan all of our field trips and parties.

Registration for new families begins in mid-February. We highly recommend that interested families complete our brief inquiry form to learn more and sign up for a tour to experience NSCA in person.
