North Cobb Christian School FAQs

At NCCS, we follow a rolling admissions calendar, meaning that we accept applications throughout the year, as space allows. Students are accepted during the school year following admissions guidelines, taking into consideration the best outcome for the student and the school. 

In order to adequately ascertain the academic compatibility of prospective students and to place them appropriately within our school community, all applicants for 1st through 12th grade are tested for admissions. Applicants in K4 and K5 participate in a readiness assessment. Applicants for K3 participate in an admissions observation. 

At NCCS, we offer the very best in academic, athletics and arts programs for our students, which, in turn, requires a significant commitment from our families. While investing in an authentic Christian education for your child is a decision you will never regret, we also acknowledge and understand the financial sacrifice this entails for many families.

This is why NCCS offers financial aid to families who are able to contribute a substantial amount towards tuition but are unable to afford the full cost. As a member of the Georgia High School Association (GHSA), NCCS does not award scholarships but offers need-based financial aid. Financial aid awards are available to qualifying families with students in K5 through 12th grade on a year-by-year basis. A specified amount of aid is budgeted each year based on enrollment, budget, and other considerations, as detailed by our financial aid information. All awards are kept confidential and administered through a third-party organization.

We also offer three tuition payment schedules, to help accommodate budget preferences via one-time, three-time, or 10-time tuition payment plans. If you desire a biblically based, college-preparatory education for your child and have reviewed our tuition schedule, we encourage you to begin the admissions process. Our admissions team provides financial counsel to families on an individual basis, sharing opportunities and strategies that have made a NCCS education a reality for many students.

Student needs are assessed on an individual basis during the admissions process, with the best possible outcome for the student in mind. NCCS offers the Moving Forward Program,* in addition to the RISE* gifted program in Lower School; a full scope of advanced classes in Middle School; and honors, AP and Dual Enrollment courses in Upper School.

*Some auxiliary student support programs are subject to additional fees to cover the cost. 

At NCCS, students in junior kindergarten through 8th grade wear uniforms. Preschoolers in K3 and K4 do not wear uniforms. Students in Upper School follow a standard of appearance that allows them to make individual decisions about their appearance while reflecting the values and standards of our school family. Learn more on our uniforms and appearance standards page. 

The pastoral/community recommendation form can be completed by any character reference who knows your family well, including a Sunday school teacher, coach, former / current teacher, or family friend, in addition to your church’s pastor.

Flipside, the NCCS after school program, is available for students in K3 – 4th grade until 6:30 p.m. each day (billed through FACTS). Special after-school enrichment activities called Sidekicks are also offered through Flipside throughout the year. 

For middle school students in 5th - 8th grade who are on campus but not participating in after-school activities or athletics, supervision is provided from 3:45-5:00 p.m. free of charge.
