CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
Students are academically challenged in a liberal education which includes Bible, English, social studies, mathematics, world language, science, fine arts, visual arts, physical education, and electives and occupational courses. We provide both honors level and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Opportunities are also offered conveniently through our concurrent credit program for students to earn high school credit and college credit simultaneously with our teachers.

SPIRITUAL LIFE
Spiritual formation at NCHS is integrated in everything we do and encourages active student participation. High school students gather for Chapel once a week, which is an opportunity for our student band to lead in song and worship prior to an applicable message from a staff member or special speaker. In addition, students meet in small groups 1-2 times per month during the school year.
INSPIRE
At NCHS, there is a niche for every student. Whether it’s theater, athletics, Writing Club, engineering, Knowledge Bowl, or any number of other topics, we encourage deeper exploration of current areas of interest, as well as inspire students to seek new curiosities.
ENGAGE
Students engage in a range of activities that encompass the whole person. From a mission trip to a school dance to serving in the community, activities encourage critical thinking about Christian life and practice.
SUPPORT
We strive to meet each student’s unique needs where they are today—whether that be building skills in math, reading, and writing, or study skills and organization. Many faculty members hold advanced degrees in the areas in which they teach and are prepared to help each student reach his or her God-given potential.
EQUIP
92% of our students go on to college and university after graduation. We spend four years guiding them through the process for what comes next. From AP classes to earning college credit right here on our campus, students will lay the groundwork for their future.

“Whether a student writes a beautiful piece of poetry, solves a challenging equation, creates a complex engineering project, performs on stage, or engages in an uplifting conversation with a peer, I view it as the student living out what it means to reflect God’s image.”
—Joshua Snyder, NCHS Principal
