BACK TO SCHOOL 2026
School supplies
This school year, K-8 students will be charged a school supply fee rather than having to purchase a long list of supplies -- a process that we hope will save you time and money. Aside from a few larger items that can be used for multiple years, teachers will purchase the needed consumable supplies for their classrooms. Families who have been approved for tuition assistance will not be charged the supply fee.
ES (K-5) students need to bring:
-
Reusable water bottle
-
Non-marking gym shoes
-
Gym strip
A $35 per student fee will be added to tuition invoices
MS (6-8) students need to bring:
-
Reusable water bottle
-
Bible
-
Non-marking gym shoes
-
Binder (2” or 3”)
-
Combination lock

Laptop
A $30 per student fee will be added to tuition invoices

“NCS has not only been a place of education and inspiration for our children for almost 10 years but a place to grow spiritually, a place to be loved on, guided through, and embraced by the staff and students alike … like family -- and, well ... It IS family! And that's why we love NCS!"
Susan Boland, NCS parent
