Admission Testing

Pre-K students are given a Developmental Readiness Test, administered by a NCA Teacher. Kindergarten – 3rd grade students are given the Stanford Achievement Test, scheduled through admissions and administered at NCA.

Fifth – 12th grade students are given the ISEE test, scheduled and administered through the Admissions Office. This test consists of three parts: (1) Verbal & Quantitative Reasoning, which measures capability for learning; (2) Reading Comprehension & Math, which provides specific information about strengths and weaknesses in those areas; and (3) an Essay section which is timed and written in response to a prompt. ISEE charges a testing fee of $75.00 paid directly to them if the test is scheduled during the posted registration dates. Late registration (up to two weeks before the test date) is $95.00.

Acceptance to NCA

Acceptance for admission to NCA is subject to availability of class space. Priority for acceptance is based on (1) children of staff members, (2) siblings of current students, and (3) all other new students.

The final admission decision will be made by an Admissions Committee composed of administrators, faculty and school board members. To serve the best interest of the school, the Admissions Committee reserves the right to deny admission to any student who is evaluated as ineligible.

NCA’s mission is to work in conjunction with the home to mold students to be Christ-like. On occasion, the atmosphere or conduct within a particular home may be counter or in opposition to the Biblical lifestyle the school teaches. This includes, but is not limited to, sexual immorality, sexual orientation, or inability to support the moral principles of the school. In such cases, the school reserves the right to refuse admission to an applicant.

Financial Aid

NCA has designated funds for partial financial aid for the 2006 – 2007 school year. These funds will be awarded based on financial need. Applications for financial aid may be obtained from the Business Office once you have completed the enrollment process, turned all documents in and paid the application fee. All applications will be held in strict confidence.
