Our family has been at NCA since the beginning. We absolutely love the challenging curriculum, the caring teachers, and the admin with a great vision for many years to come. Even this early in its existence the sports program is already shaping up to be on a high level with great coaches and an athletic director. We love the rigor, discipline, and the classical curriculum.
