ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS
PRE-K-1ST
PRE-KINDERGARTEN
The pre-kindergarten years are the perfect time to see if your family is called to homeschool long term! At NSCA students are with their instructor Tuesday/Thursday from 8:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in a loving, learning environment that teaches godly principles. They also join Kindergarten-1st Grade for some very fun activities like feasts and special days of celebration. While working on their pre-k skills at home, they'll enjoy lots of practice at NSCA. Pre-K students must turn four (4) by August 15.
KINDERGARTEN AND 1ST GRADE
In K-1 our students spend about half of the day with their homeroom instructor and the other half with the other K-1 instructors for different subjects of study (see below). We use hands-on games and activities to help our kids explore God’s magnificent creation and see His hand at work in history. Kindergarten students must turn five (5) by August 15.

Our Middle School program is offered on Tuesday/Thursday, 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 two electives. As a general rule, students should plan on spending about one hour per subject on their home days to complete NSCA work.
HIGH SCHOOL
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. Our values permeate everything from lab work, to group activities, to social events.
High School classes meet on Wednesday/Friday from 8:15 a.m. - 2:45 p.m./3:45 p.m., depending on chosen electives. Students should plan to spend approximately 1-1/2 hours per subject on NSCA work per home day.
In addition to academics, our Student Council hosts regular social gatherings, including movie nights, parties, and themed dances!
