North Cobb Christian School just 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 nearly 1,000 learners on our expansive 50-acre private school campus in North Georgia, NCCS has stayed true to our calling of “family.”

The NCCS Vision

Together...

NCCS isn't just a school. It's family.

The top comment we receive from students and parents is that NCCS “feels like home.” This isn’t coincidental. We intentionally cultivate a culture of faith, support and love through small class sizes, programs where students discover their unique genius, and countless opportunities for students to bond and grow together -- from weekly chapel to retreats, and from peer mentoring to Spring Term trips. The bottomline: we are more than a school. We are a family.

Cultivating Hearts

Firm foundations of faith & identity.

At NCCS, Jesus is the center, and that makes all the difference. We exist to lead students towards grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Additionally, we believe that if students discover their unique gifts and interests, they develop a strong sense of who God made them to be. With this sense of identity comes a great advantage: Our students know who they are … they know Whose they are … and they are empowered to live with purpose.

Challenging Minds

Individualized education equates to incredible success.

NCCS’s unique, individualized approach develops students’ unique genius at our private school in Cobb County. We offer STEM/STEAM for preschool - 12th grade, on-campus dual enrollment, five NCCS Academies (magnet programs), extensive AP + honors, and innovative college counseling. We have a 100% graduation and college acceptance rate, including Harvard, Brown, Johns Hopkins, and hundreds more. Graduating classes earn ~$10 million in scholarships; over 30% of grads earn a 4.0 or higher.

Impacting Culture

At NCCS, we send our students out, and we invite the world in.

Our students thrive through “global classroom” experiences that allow them to impact our world for Christ. Students in preschool through 12th grade participate in regular community service, from charities in our own backyard to global Spring Term missions trips. NCCS also houses a robust International Student Program, hosting students from around the globe who thrive amidst our beautifully diverse student body.

News & Events

Talking to Kids About the Election

In many families, regardless of political preference, emotions run high regarding the election, and as parents, we may fail to remain cognizant of what our children are learning from our response to the current political scene. Consider stopping to ask yourself, “What are my children learning from my words, my attitude, and my nonverbal behaviors?” Research notes that at least 70 percent of communication is nonverbal. What are you communicating to your children? No doubt they feel the strong emotions, and often they don’t know how to put any of it into perspective in light of our Christian faith.

Reading Room's Expanded Horizons

Through books, you can explore distant lands, go back in time, and -- our favorite -- glean empathy by "walking" in someone else's shoes. We recently added 40 new titles to our Reading Room (our precious library for K3 - 4th grade students). The titles share perspectives on students with diverse academic needs, families from a variety of cultures throughout God's world, and children with various abilities and backgrounds.

Why We Love NCCS

Synclair

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

MaryBeth

Faculty

My goal, as a teacher and mentor, is to instill a love for Jesus Christ into my students. I am continually blessed by the people I work with. All of the administration, faculty and staff here at NCCS have a deep love for the students and families they represent. Our united goal is to impact our students for Christ, so that they can, in turn, impact culture. I thank God every day that I have the opportunity to be part of a community and purpose that is focused solely on Him.

The Cardens

Parents

We love NCCS for its emphasis on spiritual formation, as well as the development of the whole child. Our children have been challenged and well prepared for college. The teachers, who go the extra mile, just become part of your family -- they invest so much into the kids. We love our school for the community and the depth of learning our children have received and continue to receive.Zack + Tennyson Carden, NCCS Parents

The FungAWings

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

Emily

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
