I'm very impressed with NCS. We've had several children through this school in the past years, and we're quite happy with Joe Cottrell, the principal at the school. Joe is a godly man who lets nothing stand in his way of making sure the students at NCS find out how to live in a godly way. Academics are excellent, and athletics are up and coming. We'd recommend this school to EVERYONE!

I love this school ! My kids have learned a LOT here, and we are SO happy we decided to send them. The teachers are great people, as is Joe, the Principal. We've never had any problems that weren't properly handled. Thank God for NCS!

NCS is an excellent school to be in. I have personally been a student there for seven years, and going into 8th grade and couldn't imagine being anywhere else. Amazing group of kids, highly recommended!

Not a good place to be in. Too many clicks in my opinion. Teachers get an C- for efford from me they are not really with it. The school has no lunch room and you have to eat at your desk. I told my parents it not worth your money mom and dad.

We are parents at the school, and we've got two kids there. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the education my kids have received up through 5th grade so far. We're loving our involvement on a few committees, and would really recommend to anyone in the world to bring their kids here.

A small, fast growing school that s ran by people who teach Christian values and care about your children. The classes are preschool through 8th. The teachers truly care about my children s spiritual wellbeing and academic growth. The curriculum is more challenging than most public schools and well rounded for a small school. There s a computer lab and computer use is taught from an early age. There isn t a lunchroom as of yet. There is a good gymnasium, sports fields and playground. There are extracurricular sports teams, very good art and music classes and instrumental lessons available. There are voluntary Bible, Spelling, Math, Instrumental and Choral competitions available most with other christian schools and some with public schools. There s a school science fair competition for the older grades every other year and teams are sent each spring to participate in the Trans-options solar model-car local, state and northeast regional races.

We are fairly new to the school and i am finding it is wonderful in some areas and lacking in others. the classes are too large(25 students per grade),and understandably the teachers are not of the highest quality; they don't get paid well. It is great to have a christ centered education and the teachers and staff are all very caring and supportive.

I am quite new to the school, but it didn't take me long to find out that yes indeed, I see favortism of families that attend certain churches. Some teachers are great while others do the bare minimum. Sports are good, but lack of communication about practices leaves you not knowing when it is or time it's over. Most parents have a very poor attitude toward involvement while a small group do everything.

The Principal of NCS, Mr. Joe Cottrell is a truly Godly man, who can also appreciate the value of competition. A highly competitive curriculum, (A-Beka) and Bible-based education happens here, with small classes and much parent support. Budget limits extracurriculars sometimes, but music, sports and clubs available; lunch is brown bag only. B+
