Thank you for your interest in North Raleigh Christian Academy. As an Admissions
Office, we understand the importance and significance of the decision you have in
deciding where your children will attend school. Whether you are a first time parent
trying to decide on a Kindergarten for your child or a family seeking to enroll multiple
children in our school; whether you are local or relocating, we are here to serve you
and help you through the “information gathering” process and to later assist you
through the Admissions process if you choose to apply to NRCA.

NRCA’s educational process and commitment, both in and out of the classroom, is
directed to the development of Christian students to enable them to translate the
different facets of their educational experience into Christian living. As a community
Christian school, North Raleigh Christian Academy believes in “Kingdom Education”,
a life long, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child to Christ, building
a child up in Christ, and equipping a child to serve Christ. It is our desire to “assist
parents” and be an extension of the home in the development of students spiritually,
academically, physically and socially so that they will think from a biblical worldview
as they launch into God’s plan and purpose for their lives.

Once again, I thank you for your interest in this wonderful school. God’s blessings
are evident throughout NRCA with the God Story of our growth and facilities. “To
whom much is given, much is required.” So it is my hope that our Admissions Office
will provide the attention, information and support that you need to make one of the
most important decisions of a lifetime.

Yours for Kingdom education,
Susan Dial

                                Prospective Parent Information Meetings
          North Raleigh Christian Academy’s Prospective Parent Information Meetings are an excellent way to learn about and experience
          the school. These meetings are open to the public. Reservations for virtual sessions are required. Our Superintendent, Dr.
          Kevin Mathes, conducts an informational session covering numerous topics from NRCA’s history to policies and procedures.
          The Principals for each school (Elementary, Middle, and High) and the Admissions Director are available at this meeting
          to answer additional questions you might have. The in-person sessions conclude with a thorough school tour, and for the
          virtual sessions, we have a virtual tour available on our website. We are unable to schedule individual tours throughout the
          year, but Prospective Parent Information Meetings are offered from November through July for each new Admission year.

          At least one parent must attend a Prospective Parent Information Meeting for the application process to be complete.
          Attendance to a prior meeting does not count for the next year’s Admission process. Parents of NRCA siblings are not
          required to attend but are always welcome.
