About Us

Novi Christian Academy was founded in 1986.

NCA is a K-12, coeducational, college-preparatory school with a Biblical worldview. We offer an advanced education with Honors classes and extensive hands-on labs for sciences and technology, K-12. NCA offers a committed staff of Christian educators that work together to nurture each child spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically.

Our beautiful facilities offer an Athletic Field Complex; including baseball, softball, and soccer. We also offer art, vocal and instrumental music rooms, media center, 2100-seat Creative and Performing Arts Worship Center, gymnasium, weight room, and state-of-the-art technology labs and classrooms.

Our Vision

Novi Christian Academy, in partnership with the family, seeks to provide the highest quality education in the context of the Christian faith so that students become fully devoted followers of Christ Jesus, living lives of leadership and service.

Our Mission

NCA has a vision that each child who passes through the halls will know that he/she is loved by the Creator of the Universe, and that God has a perfect plan and purpose for his/her life. We believe that it is our responsibility to teach our students how to know what they believe and why they believe it; and we believe it is our responsibility to equip them to compete and excel academically, socially, physically, and spiritually.

Our Values

At NCA, we are dedicated to partnering with families, giving students the opportunity to encounter God, instilling wisdom, individualizing instruction, and providing social and athletic opportunities.
