Each grade level’s curricular outline delineates specific, age appropriate skills that ultimately lead to the achievement of the major outcomes. As a result, at every grade level students work in a progressive manner to acquire knowledge and learn skills which are inter-related and which build upon one another.

At NCA, students study five major content areas at every grade level. These are Religion, Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. Special classes in Physical Education, Music, Visual Arts, Computer Technology, and Spanish Language are also offered in many grade levels.
