NCA offers a well-rounded education that combines academic rigor, extracurricular engagement, and a deep sense of community. Students can explore Honors and AP courses, participate in a Dual Enrollment Program with prestigious universities, and take advantage of a wide range of varsity athletics, clubs, and leadership opportunities to shape their unique high school journey.
Champion Your Future
At NCA, we live by the values of humanity, excellence, and courage. Our school culture fosters belonging and ambition through celebrations and healthy competition. First-year students join our dynamic House system during orientation, where cross-grade connections are built through weekly challenges that strengthen bonds between students and staff. With programs like our award-winning robotics team, engaging history debates, and athletic teams, every Panther finds their voice and passion here. Through hands-on learning, college tours, and mentorship, we guide our students to strive for their fullest potential.
Driven by Excellence
Our commitment to academic and career readiness equips students for success beyond high school. NCA offers over 15 AP courses, an Honors Program, and Dual Enrollment opportunities with renowned institutions like Howard and Brown Universities. Students earn valuable college credits while exploring their interests through nine Career & Technology Education (CTE) pathways, including healthcare, cloud computing, and AP Computer Science. Beyond the classroom, students gain real-world experience through internships with partners like Audible, volunteering at Newark’s University Hospital, and shadowing professionals in diverse industries. Whether designing robots or building careers, NCA empowers students to turn their dreams into reality.
