The Northeast Christian Academy library reflects the Christ-Centered philosophy of the school by communicating through books and media God's truth to the students and teachers. Our library contains over 12,000 holdings and serves students in Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grades. There are twelve computers in the high school area of the library that are designated for the use of secondary students and four in the elementary area where the younger students can do research and take AR tests.

Accelerated Reader Stars

The three students pictured above had the highest percentage of correct answers on their Accelerated Reader tests and also met their individual goals for the first semester of the school year. Each of these students received a book from the librarians to celebrate their accomplishments!


 

Accelerated Reader
NCA is committed to the Accelerated Reading Program, a computer-based reading motivation program. The program is simple: the student reads a book and then takes a computerized test on the book. After finishing the test, the student earns a point score based on the difficulty level of the book and the number of questions he answers correctly. Read more

Ballet Art

Inspired by a visit to NCA Library by the Houston Ballet, an NCA student's drawing of her favorite scene from The Nutcracker Ballet was chosen by the Houston Ballet in a contest that is sponsored each year for students in the Houston area.

Her picture will hang in the gallery at the Ballet. She also received tickets to attend the next performance. Congratulations!
