MISSION

NBCA's mission is to prepare students to:

Serve God with integrity and personal character.

Serve others with love.

We have identified 15 spiritual and academic standards that enable us to teach and fulfill our mission statement. We call these standards ESLRs: Expected Schoolwide Learning Results.
