Fall Retreat

Growing Closer to Jesus and to Each Other

Students worship during Fall Retreat at North Cobb Christian School.

Putting First Things First

At the very beginning of each school year, NCCS takes all 7th through 12th grade students on a special retreat, providing an unparalleled opportunity for them to grow closer to each other and to the Lord. Away from the normal pressures of school and life, students are given a firm foundation of faith and friendship.

Students in 5th and 6th grades, meanwhile, participate in special on-campus and local activities, chapel experiences, and game days, which help them launch into the school year spiritually and socially strong. 

And did we mention that NCCS fall retreats are also incredibly FUN? From color wars to games to high-energy worship, students are reenergized and renewed — ready for the school year ahead.

As a pillar of NCCS's unique culture, this experience is included in tuition.

“As a new student, I came into the retreat not knowing anyone. I was pretty nervous, but everyone made me feel so welcome. I left retreat feeling like I really belong here ... like this is where I'm supposed to be.” NCCS Student
