We truly love NCA. Why? The small class sizes, the focus on the whole child, the very reasonable tuition and the way the teachers really take the time to get to know and work with our child. We had the opportunity to leave NCA for a while, to explore what we were thought would be greener pastures in Chicago schools — only to realize NCA is really the best place to be. We are thrilled to have our son here. An added bonus: the academics even align with our family's focus on social justice and celebrating the true diversity present within Chicago and our world.

We originally found NCA while searching for a local full-day preschool program, and we realized right away it was where we wanted our son to be through eighth grade. He's now in fourth grade, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience he's having. Caring and accessible teachers who focus on kids as individuals, a strong focus on academics, small class sizes, an emphasis on social justice, and a truly wonderful and welcoming parent community that works together. The summer camp program is a big bonus, too.
