"I love the
opportunities I have academically as well as socially. The flexibility of our
schedule allows us to do so much more than a traditional school setting." -
Kaitlin Weeks, Student
"Dear friends at
NCC, There is not enough that I can say to convey the wonderful help and
experience that our family has had with NCC. Our family came to NCC with the
need for strong academic guidance and assistance for our son who was entering
high school yet was unprepared. He had some notable academic challenges. We
found more help and resources than we could have hoped for! The academic
approach and teaching environment were wonderful, and were enhanced further by
an administration and teaching staff that do nothing less than excel. Our son
was not merely encouraged to do well, but was given every academic tool and
opportunity to achieve excellence. His eventual position as class officer, a
member of the National Honor Society and possessor of a high GPA were
achievements we attribute directly to the direction and support he received at
New Creation Center. Just as important to us as parents was our son's social
experience at NCC. It was just as positive as his academics. He gained good,
solid friends with many of those being teachers and administrators as well as
being fellow students. I would encourage without reservation any parent looking
for admirable academic and social opportunity for their child to give NCC and
their professional staff strong consideration. Our son was just accepted into a
private Christian college and was able to forego some of the admissions
screening process due to his carrying a 3.85 GPA. When I see that, I see the
results of his hard work developed through the New Creation Center! To the
administration staff and faculty of NCC goes this family's heartfelt thanks! " -

"Dear NCC, I am
writing this because I was asked to say something about how I feel NCC prepared
me for college. Besides having a similar class schedule to that of college, the
things that prepared me the most were Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Gardner. Mrs. Gardner
pushed me when I myself had no reason/motivation to do what I must in class. It
is because of her that I have an A in College Calculus I. I make 100's on
everything and question why I am even in the class to begin with. She helped me
understand the basic fundamentals of all math so that when I came to Berry, what
Dr. Kaptiza had to say was what I covered in week 4 of Mrs. Gardner's class. She
is an incredible person and I am so thankful to have studied under her. She
taught me that even when I don't feel like doing it, or don't think it's
applicable, that I have to press on, not for her sake, but for the sake of
knowing what I must to continue in life without mediocrity. Even though she was
just a Math teacher, she means a lot to me and taught me well. Mrs. Hughes,
another fabulous teacher and friend, was also there encouraging me to pursue
what I love most. Her encouragement kept me strong through Twelfth Night
auditions, the spring play at Berry. I was cast in two roles, she believed in me
like a mother does with her child. She told me I had nothing to fear about the
life I wanted because God would always be there, and she would always support me
no matter what the outcome. These two women did a lot for me and because of
them, I am stronger, more motivated and more determined than most in my class.
Honor them, they are worth it!" - Jenni Ivers, 2007 Graduate
"The opportunity for a good education is one of the most important gifts that
parents can give their children. This is why my husband and I chose New Creation
Center. Our children have gone to public school since first grade. They were
blessed with good teachers and many were devout Christians. This past year
problems at their school made it increasingly difficult for the teachers to
teach and the children to learn. We had to find a new path for the girls'
education. Following the advice of many of their previous teachers, we contacted
NCC and enrolled them for the remainder of of their eighth grade year.
This decision has been such a blessing to our family! The girls have been loved
and encouraged from day one. The instruction they have received has been beyond
our expectations. The schoolwork has been challenging, both intellectually and
spiritually. Teachers are given the respect that they deserve and the students
are respected as well. As I drop the girls off for class I leave knowing that
every person on the NCC staff wants the best for them. I also know that they
will be encouraged to work hard to accomplish their dreams and goals.
When you enter the doors of New Creation Center you know you are among family. I
hope I can welcome you to the family soon!" - Melissa Meadows, Parent
"It is our honor to be writing you this letter. NCC is so much more than just a
school or a facility to educate children. NCC offers families not just an
education, but a place to feel at home.
NCC is founded on Christian principles. The programs and classes offer
flexibility which in turn allows each family to determine the individual needs
they may have. The design of classes offered prepare our children to become
responsible for time management and accountability to the teachers. That is a
very important factor when preparing for college and life in general.
Our family in particular has greatly benefited from the NCC program and
dedicated staff. We have two children in attendance at NCC. Our daughter
is a freshman, our son a sophomore. Our son has a chronic illness which greatly
affects his ability to attend classes regularly. Both of our children have been
so blessed by all the staff and the many prayers received. The staff and
teachers have been so gracious and flexible when working with the unique needs
of our family. Their accessibility is tremendous. Whether we call on the phone
or e-mail, we are always responded to in a timely manner and with a concerned
heart. With the many hospital visits and multiple doctor appointments we have to
attend we are always prayed for, cared for and supported. Everyone has
graciously worked with us and our family in trying to insure the best education
needed for each of our children. Teachers have allowed our daughter to be in
attendance for many procedures that he has to endure. They have supported her,
worked with her, and cared for her in how all of his illnesses have affected
her.
NCC has been a wonderful place in which to trust our kids' education and their
spiritual growth. We strongly feel that it takes a community to raise our
children for the future. Our churches, families and schools play a very
important part in the process. NCC is not just a school it is a part of our
family, and a great place to insure your child's future!"

"Our family became involved with NCC in the year 2000, and found it to be the
'best of both worlds' - combining the best of a classroom teaching experience
with the flexibility and creativity of homeschooling. All of my children
graduated from NCC and had no trouble getting accepted to college. Each found
themselves fully prepared for the college experience, especially in terms of
time management, as they are already conditioned to the university-style
class/study schedule. Being a part of NCC was a great decision, and I am so
thankful that the Lord brought us to this organization." - Patty Ivers,
Parent
"We found NCC at a time in our lives when we were experiencing change. Kaitlin's
dad died suddenly in 2002. I had remarried the next year and we had moved from
our old home into a new home. Kaitlin was also going through some health issues.
I heard about NCC through a friend and began to ask questions about the school.
I took Kaitlin by for a visit and met the office staff. I quickly realized that
this was an answered prayer for myself and Kaitlin. The Christian atmosphere and
friendly faces all accepted Kaitlin without question. She was soon absorbed in
the school life and began to come out of her shell and develop into a young
lady. God had placed NCC in Kaitlin's life at a critical time and we have never
looked back. What a blessing it is to know that her education and her well being
are being looked after by fellow Christians." - Cindy & Murray Chambers,
Parents
