High School
Luke 2:52 gives the model for developing a student: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." High school is the time when all the foundational work of earlier years comes to fruition and when preparation for college and vocation takes center stage. Our goal is to provide our students with a comprehensive, college preparatory academic program that prepares them to succeed in college and in life. We want to guide them as they select a college or university, and help them as they make decisions about career planning. We want students to have a broad based, Biblically informed education that prepares them for effective leadership and service in the 21st century. An integral part of our high school is the spiritual training students receive through Bible classes. Bible classes are application oriented. Service and ministry are greatly emphasized as well as mission outreach.
We also provide a comprehensive advising program for our high school students through our NRCA Guidance Department. In-depth guidance is given to our high school students through one-on-one advising for post-graduation planning, college/career selection and admission assistance, financial aid and scholarship applications, and all facets of planning for the student’s career and education plans following graduation from NRCA.
High School is also a fun time of exploring and participating in many activities. Through a wide array of sports and fine arts, students are able to use their abilities, talents and interests to expand the horizons around them. In addition, there are clubs, honor societies and special events that round out the high school experience. These extracurricular activities can have a dramatic impact on young people, create lifelong memories, and truly make high school one of the most enjoyable times in their lives.
