NHCA has adopted the New King James verison of the Holy Bible as the primary version to be used in Bible classes and to be used in scripture memorization.

Curriculum and Textbooks

The curriculum framework at NHCA is designed to teach children from a Biblical worldview. NHCA uses academically-challenging curriculum that is designed to teach Biblical morals and values. A-Beka, Bob Jones University, and ACSI curriculum are used in the classrooms in all subject areas. Some teachers will use supplemental curriculum to give more practice and review in certain subject areas.

Homework is a vital part of the learning process. It gives student practice and gives students preparation for the next day’s work/lesson. All students are required to complete all homework assignments, and parents are asked to make sure their child is completing his/her homework daily/nightly.

Homework not turned in on the due date, will be penalized 50% on first day and 0 on days after.
