WE ARE FAMILY. WE ARE NCCS.

Ever wondered if there's a better way to do school? 

A way to educate that puts children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual needs at the forefront? A way that challenges students academically, fosters them spiritually, and guides them to discover their God-given purpose and abilities? 

Well, over four decades ago, four families wondered the same thing — and North Cobb Christian School was born.

Our Private School Near Atlanta

Located in Kennesaw, Georgia, NCCS combines academic excellence with an authentic Christian education for students in preschool K3 through 12th grade—helping children tap into their unique gifts and grow into their full potential in Christ.
This is school … the way it should be.

Putting first things FIRST. 

Every school year begins with our entire community coming together to seek God’s will and favor. Student representatives from Lower, Middle, and Upper School lead us in prayer—lifting up our teachers, students, families, community, and nation. What began nearly 30 years ago as a simple circle of classes around the school has become a cherished tradition, marking the start of each year with unity before the Lord.

The Great 8 - What Sets NCCS Apart

We gathered feedback from our very own parents, students, faculty and staff on what sets NCCS apart. Here are their answers, synthesized into “The Great 8” — the eight distinctives that provide the unique DNA of NCCS.

biblical worldview

At NCCS, students grow in their personal faith through Bible classes, weekly chapel, and consistent opportunities to view all of life through a biblical lens. Guided by Christ-centered teachers and coaches, students are immersed daily in an environment that integrates faith with every aspect of their education.
