My kids have been at NCS for three years, and I could not be happier. They have become independent, resourceful, and accountable.

Academically, being such a small school allows for personalization, and kids get placed at their learning level in core subjects like Math.

Every day when I drop him off, I think "what a magical place," both due to the idyllic landscape and (more importantly) the ethos and mi...
