Distinctive learning pathways

Every child is unique. Their education should be, too.

At North Cobb Christian School, we believe learning comes alive when in alignment with a student's natural strengths, learning styles, and God-given bents. While NCCS students take a wide breadth of robust, college-prep, liberal arts courses, our students go beyond a one-size-fits-all education and embark on personalized academic journeys through these signature programs:

The Cain family children are all smiles because they attend NCCS!

"We have full confidence that our children are loved, safe, and receiving a great education. Plus, what we're teaching at home is being reinforced at school. We are more than just a number at NCCS -- we are family."    

The Cain Family

Chever Family posing with smiles because they love NCCS!

"Our love for NCCS began from the first moment we stepped inside. The warm greetings, smiling faces, and good energy
flooded my spirit, and immediately I knew this was a special school." 

The Chever Family

"Some people’s thoughts are that a secular environment will ‘strengthen’ their children by forcing them to stand up for their own beliefs. But God’s Word does not endorse that viewpoint. It does not say, ‘Give a child 12 years of training in the way he should not go, and he will be made strong by it.’ We have been amazed at the love the girls’ teachers have shown them and how they apply the principles from God’s Word to the subject being taught and to real-life situations."

The Carter Family

A young family with four daughters smiles outside on a green lawn.

“We chose NCCS because we appreciate how the biblical worldview being taught in our home is supported and supplemented at school. We also love the warm and caring nature of the staff and teachers. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they love our kids!”

The Godfrey Family

“We first came to NCCS in 2017, and we are very glad that we made this decision. We are thankful for the broad scope of experiences and opportunities our children receive at NCCS, which allow them to grow academically, socially, and in their relationships with God. We are confident that when the time comes, they will be very well prepared.”

The Taylor Family

Step into the SOAR Lab and MakeShop, two expansive workshop spaces that comprise the Upper School STEM Center, designed to fuel creativity, innovation, and hands-on exploration. With jumbo garage-style doors that open to fresh air and an industrial design, the space is equipped with cutting-edge tools—3D printers and scanners, laser engravers, CNC routers, soldering stations, table saws, scroll saws, sewing and textile machines, and more. Whether you’re building, probing, or prototyping, it’s a launchpad for STEM discovery and real-world problem-solving—right here on campus.

North Cobb Christian School’s science program is powered by university-grade labs, complete with designated lab prep rooms to support a wide range of hands-on experiments and scientific exploration.

Whether conducting lab investigations, collaborating on research, or preparing for STEM careers, students thrive in an environment that fuses academic excellence with a biblical foundation of wonder and discovery.

The Lower School STEAM Courtyard allows students in K3 through 4th grade to cultivate a seasonal garden—learning about sustainability, plant life cycles, and healthy eating—while enjoying the reward of harvesting produce they’ve grown themselves. The courtyard also features a greenhouse structure, thoughtfully designed and constructed by Upper School engineering students. This award-winning structure, which earned an International STEM Award from Grand Canyon University, features custom potting shelves, a water-collection system, and an all-seasons workspace for planting and prep.

The Co-Op is thoughtfully equipped with comfortable seating, ample natural light, and modern furnishings, creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages both academic focus and social connection.

The Loft is a bright, welcoming space at NCCS designed for students to recharge and refocus. With sunlit banquettes, tables, and cozy seating, it’s the perfect place to relax between classes, study for a test, or work quietly on assignments in a calm, comfortable setting.

Surrounded by whimsical scenes of favorite literary characters like Peter Rabbit, Winnie the Pooh, the Penguin, and the Very Hungry Caterpillar, K3 - 4th-grade students enjoy weekly visits to explore new stories, listen to read-alouds, and check out books. It’s a joyful, inspiring space where reading becomes an adventure and positive associations with books take root early.

Surrounding the campus of North Cobb Christian School are expansive wooded acres, offering a peaceful, natural backdrop to daily student life. Winding trails weave through the trees and a designated outdoor learning area provides the perfect setting for science class and fresh-air lessons.
