We expanded to High School in 2018-19 with 9th Grade, and we are adding a grade each school year. In 2020-21, we will be offering high school classes through 12th Grade.. Our High School program is offered on Wednesday/Friday, and students are in classes from 8:15 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. or 3:45 p.m., depending on chosen electives. Students are required to take the Core Subjects plus one elective (all electives offered are based on enrollment and interest). While students are with us, they will gain confidence through lab work, group activities, and lecture/note-taking that will build skills to prepare them for college and beyond! As a general rule, students should plan on spending about one-and-a-half hours per subject on their home days to complete NSCA work.
In addition to regular classes, we ask students to volunteer at local ministries at least twice per semester. We also offer monthly social gatherings for our high school students, including pajama game night, mystery dinner theater, rock climbing, and lots more!
Our desire is to foster an environment where students become life-long learners with a holistic Christian worldview that will prepare them well for adulthood. We are committed to partnering with parents as they impart to their children strong Christian values, a heart to serve locally and globally and a desire to walk rightly in godly friendships.
