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 will be 8:30 - 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.
-
Foreign 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.
-
Structured Aftercare -
We are not providing a babysitting service at NCCA. The after school
program will provide a healthy mix of homework help, structure and fun for
families who need this wrap-around service.
