New Song Christian Academy

New Song Christian Academy (NSCA) blends the best of home education and private Christian education. We offer a two-day supplemental program for home school students from kindergarten through eighth grade.

Vision

The entire staff of New Song Christian Academy is committed to helping students

  • Reach Up to God
    We believe that our most important relationship is with God. Our courses and curriculum reflect a Christ-centered approach to education. Every one of our faculty have a committed relationship with Jesus Christ. Our chapel celebrations are filled with praise, worship, and contemporary messages that proclaim Jesus without compromise and welcome the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit.
  • Reach In to One Another
    We believe that it is important for students to build positive social relationships with one another. The blending of private school and home school allows students to develop relationships while keeping their home and family a priority.
  • Reach Out to Neighbors, Nations & Generations
    We believe that students need to develop a heart for neighbors, nations, and generations. When you walk into our celebration room you see the flags of the nations as a visual reminder of our call to reach out. Our courses and curriculum reflect this missions perspective.
  • Reach Forward for God’s Best
    We believe that we are called to prepare our students for excellence. Our goal is to help each student to develop a love for learning. We are committed to academic excellence, which provides a spring board for students to enter into their lifetime calling with confidence.
