Celebrating 25 Years


On Friday, August 19, NCA International celebrated its 25th Anniversary since its foundation in 1991.  The evening began with a march of the flags of the 18 different nationalities represented in our student body.  After this, we heard from a variety of speakers, including the founders, who told stories of the inception of the school and gave testimonies of God’s provision and leading over the last 2.5 decades.  The evening concluded by singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness” in English and Spanish, followed by a Gala dinner.  It was wonderful to celebrate all that God has accomplished, and there was also an excitement and enthusiasm over all that God will continue to accomplish in the next 25 years!

In this time, NCA has grown from 3 families and 7 students to its current size of 212 families and 357 students.  In addition, our school has launched two additional sister schools -- NCA Nejapa in 2005 and NCA Matagalpa in 2013.  We now have over 1050 students between all three schools, and are continuing our school’s mission to provide Academic Excellence with a Christian Foundation.

One important component of our school’s mission is to prepare our students to impact society through their own lives.  It was encouraging to hear many stories of NCA graduates who have gone on to serve the Lord in a wide variety of ways.  To God be the glory!

Here is a video of the NCA International March of the Flags at our Open House on August 5.

Hot Stuff


Earlier this year the Masaya Volcano had some seismic activity resulting in a better viewing angle.  We can now actually see a red hot bubbling lava!  As you can imagine, this is very difficult to describe in words... you really have to be there to experience the power and awesome nature of God's Creation!
