The original NCCS Business Academy students who founded Higher Grounds Coffee.
 

In the crisp fall of 2023, ten visionary seniors from the North Cobb Christian School Business Academy embarked on a transformative journey, blending their entrepreneurial spirit with a deep passion for coffee. Thus, Higher Grounds Coffee Company was born—a student-run venture infused with ambition, innovation, and a touch of caffeinated inspiration.

 

 

A Higher / vision

Where Innovation Takes Flight.

In the NCCS Business Academy, we champion an entrepreneurial mindset—equipping students to bring ideas to life. Higher Grounds provides a real-world think tank where students explore business development, marketing, branding, product R & D, and more.

Serving Hearts + Cups.

At Higher Grounds Coffee, we’re more than just a coffee shop—we’re on a mission to uplift every customer, guided by our core verse: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up” (James 4:10). Through handcrafted coffee and genuine community, we aim to raise people’s spirits one cup at a time.

NCCS Business Academy students donate a percentage of their proceeds to support Calvary Children's Home.
Brewing Coffee. Building a Legacy.

Higher Grounds Coffee Company is about more than great coffee—it’s about building a legacy rooted in faith and philanthropy. Blending real-world business experience with biblical values, NCCS Business Academy students donate a portion of the coffee shop’s profits to a nonprofit organization each year.
