I've been part of the NRCA family since 1998 when my second child began kindergarten there. Three of our four children have graduated from NRCA and gone on to college; the fourth is a rising senior. After having students there for almost ten years, when our fourth began school, we re-arranged our lives to ensure they could all continue to enjoy the privilege of a great education in an environment that supported our role in teaching them about our faith. As a result, my husband left a successful career in the private sector to begin teaching at NRCA. The school prepared our children well for college academically and spiritually. Our two oldest children have gone on to earn Master's of Arts from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Sending your child to a private Christian school will often require financial sacrifices; for us, it required us to sacrifice both financially and in regards to career choices. But these sacrifices have been well worth it.

My child has been a student at NRCA for four years now. I have been pleased every year to see how the teachers and the administration at every level truly care about the students. Teachers take time to encourage and support each student. My child is getting a quality, Christ centered education and is thriving at this school!
