North Cobb Christian School feels
LIKE HOME
We hear these words continually from parents and students alike. From our founding in 1983 by a few faithful families to today’s thriving student body of over 1,100 learners from K3 through 12th grade on our expansive 50-acre private Christian school campus in Kennesaw, Georgia, NCCS has stayed true to our calling of teaching biblical truth in a uniquely nurturing environment.
The Vision of NCCS
Together...
NCCS isn't just a school. It's family.
Cultivating Hearts
Firm foundations of faith & identity.
Challenging Minds
Individualized education equates to incredible success.
Impacting Culture
At NCCS, we send our students out, and we invite the world in.
It’s hard to explain, but the minute we walked in the doors of NCCS, it felt like home.
Our whole family has thrived within this precious school’s tight-knit community.-NCCS Parent
Why We Love North Cobb Christian School (NCCS)
Synclair Savage
Alumni
In addition to feeling like a family, what makes NCCS so special is how the teachers and coaches really encourage you to develop your talents and explore diverse interests. My schedule was set up so I had time for track, time for band, time for my classes, and time to be in the [spring] musical. Everyone here works with you to balance your schedule, so you can achieve everything you want to achieve. Synclair Savage, Alumni class of '20

The Turnboughs
Parents + Board Member
NCCS has been a tremendous partner in the training of our children, the reinforcement of godly character, and the development of academic, athletic, and artistic gifting. It has literally been a second home for our family. So much so, that upon graduation from college, Moriah has returned to NCCS to serve as a teacher and pour into others what she has gained. Then this year, the school opened its doors to our treasured niece, as well — another Turnbough under NCCS’s wings.

The Watsons
Alumni Parents
More importantly than all the awards, statistics and honors is the fact that the WORD was poured into our sons day in and day out for their entire school career. NCCS faculty and staff demonstrated and taught the love of Christ, showed grace and mercy, guided, disciplined, and modeled the Christian life for my boys for the 17 years that we were privileged to be a part of the school. The Christ-focused mission of the school and the way that mission is carried out on a daily basis has made a huge impact on molding and shaping each Watson boy. We are eternally grateful for the lessons learned and the love received for the past two decades. Well done, NCCS!The watson family, Mark (class of 2017), Jake (class of 2019), and Nate (class of 2021)
Mark and Nate were valedictorians of their classes; Jake was salutatorian and STAR student (highest SAT score) of his.

Parents
NCCS teachers are the cream of the crop. The lives of our children are radically different because of the impact their teachers have made on their hearts. They truly love Jesus with their whole hearts and love our children as if they were their very own. I don’t even have words to express how much this means to our family. Dean + Gabrielle Fung A Wing, NCCS ParentS
The Sillers
Parents + Faculty
I love the beautiful diversity at NCCS. We have had opportunities to welcome students from so many parts of the globe as part of our International Program. I love coming into the cafeteria and seeing a Chinese student sitting with Korean, Brazilian, and American students and watching them laugh with each other.Emily Siller, Upper School Counselor
