 Guidance

Welcome to the Guidance Department for Northside Christian Academy. Because students make many academic decisions beginning in ninth grade and impacting the rest of their high school years and beyond, we have developed these pages of helpful information for both students and parents. One of the first decisions students need to make is their graduation track. At NCA we offer three graduation tracks for students enrolled in grades 9-12: the General Studies track, the College Preparatory Track, and the Advanced College Preparatory Track. The general studies track is designed for students who may enter the workforce or a community college immediately after graduation. The college preparatory and advanced college preparatory tracks are geared for those who will enroll in a four-year college immediately after graduation. For more complete information, please select the Graduation Tracks link. 

Another important area deals with standardized testing. All students at NCA follow a testing program designed to assess learning as well as to make decisions regarding programs of study, college entrance, and career choices. We work closely with the College Board to offer the PSAT, the SAT, and Advanced Placement tests on our campus. Choose the Testing Information link to see what tests are appropriate at each grade level. You will also find here important details including dates and locations of the tests.

Finally, I encourage you to use the College Planning link as you guide your child through the many college decisions that are made during the high school years. You will find information here regarding college fairs and other opportunities. We have also provided links to financial aid sources, the common application to college, as well as scholarship opportunities. Be sure to read my college-planning newsletter and view the documents showing year-by-year checklists in preparation for college admission.

I hope you find this information helpful. In addition to viewing this information, you may wish to arrange a visit to our College Resource Room, located in C-wing. Please call 704.596.4074 or email me at snelson@ncaknights.com to make an appointment. I’ll be happy to assist you.
