NCCA desires to offer a Christ-centered educational alternative
that is committed to training academically equipped, spiritual minded leaders
for the next generation. There are several key components of our academic
approach that we feel set us apart from other schools:
-
Curriculum - The curriculum
at NCCA is a blended one, seeking to utilize the strengths of several recognized
curricula.
-
Smaller Class Size - Teachers
are most effective in smaller group environments. NCCA limits the size of our
classes to no more than 16 children per teacher.
-
Longer School Day - The New
Covenant school day is be 8:00 - 4:00pm. This will allow teachers to spend
unhurried time working with your child in a calmer, less hectic atmosphere. The
longer day also means less need for before and aftercare for many working
parents.
-
World Language Program - We
believe that our students must be fluent in Spanish to succeed in our changing
communities. Our language program will not only teach them vocabulary and
grammar, but ensure the students are fluent enough to converse in the language.
Our community provides many opportunities for immersion and studying the
language beyond what the textbook provides. Additional courses offered at the high school level.
-
Structured Aftercare - We are
not providing a babysitting service at NCCA. The after school program will
provide a healthy mix of homework jumpstart, structure and fun for families who need
this wrap-around service. |
