NCA Nejapa










As many of you are aware, my job description includes the leadership of two schools: Nicaragua Christian Academy (in English) and NCA Nejapa (in Spanish). The second school was started in 2005 because the English-language school was reaching capacity, and many Christian families were seeking a solid Christian education but couldn’t afford the tuition rates or pass the English-language requirement.

Since its inception in 2005, NCA Nejapa has grown at a tremendous rate, from 55 students in its first year to 285 students in 2009. During the last two years, the school has taken an average of 90 new students without doing any advertising. The families that are in the school are very happy with the education that their children are receiving; they can’t help but recommend it to all of their friends and neighbors.

Although my area of responsibility covers NCA Nejapa, God has appointed a highly talented and experienced Christian administrator named Darling Cerrato to lead the school. She has been the school director since its inception.

Nicaragua Christian Academy has become a small school association of Christian schools committed to Christ-centered education of excellence. At this point, both schools have reached near capacity, totaling over 570 students. Please pray with us as it seems apparent that God is leading us to start a third school soon.
