My child has been with NCA since PreSchool. He's in 3rd grade now. The quality of eduction very much depends on the quality of teachers. They have their good ones and not so good ones. Certainly, his first and second grade teachers were absolutely outstanding and provided as much personal attention as could be provided. I've seen the school grow and along the way the attendance has also grown. With that the student-teacher ratio has climbed. Not certain that has been a good thing since we selected NCA because of the low student-teacher ratio. The principal changed and she has a different style than the previous principal but she seems to be working out. It was a dramatic change from 2nd to 3rd grade. Got faster. Would have been nice to be warned in advance. Not much communications coming our way this year about the teaching styles. Makes me uncomfortable.
My kids are in their second year at NCA, and I can't say enough good things about it. We found out my oldest child has some mild learning disabilities last year. His teacher and the principal went above and beyond to figure out what we needed to do to make school work for him. This year his teacher asked for him knowing that he was going to require extra work. It has been wonderful. I would recommend this school to anybody.
NCA has high turn over of teachers. Very weak in English and Science especially in Jr. High and High School. Although NCA claims to have very high standards and moral values, my child was exposed to things that you would expect to see in public schools or larger private institutions. We were very disappointed!
The school is not what it is rated to be. The education is ok, but could be more challenging in the higher grades. All the students are taught on the same academic level, which is not appropriate for all. You have to pay for almost everything, even after paying tuition.
