welcome to New Harvest Christian School
our school serves students from Preschool to high school. New Harvest christian school (nhcs) exists to serve the children and family in our community. We provide a Christ-Centered, Biblical based education that emphasizes excellence in academics and character.
Academics
nhcs uses the Accelerated Christian Education (Ace) curriculum for all grades. This curriculum is innovative, individualized and designed to facilitate advanced, independent learning. Each student is given a course of study to meet their specific needs and learning capabilities. Does your child excel in a particular subject? Struggle in their academics? Has your child become frustrated in their current learning environment? Whether the student is a high-achiever, a moderate-paced learner, or thrives at a slower pace— Nhcs, using ace, gives every student the opportunity to succeed! Each student is provided with an initial, academic diagnosis and issued Ace curriculum at a level where they may begin performing successfully. Godly character-building and Biblical principles are incorporated into the curriculum along with a solid mastery of core academics.
Elementary students study 5 core subjects: Mathematics, English, Social Studies, Science and Word Building. Enrichment courses may also be studied which include: Basic Computer Skills, Bible Reading and Creative Writing.
Secondary students follow the California Department of Education course requirements for High School Graduation. Students, who enter high school and are able to work at grade level, will be placed on a College Preparatory track.
Character Development
We believe that God has given parents the direct responsibility to train and educate their children according to God's Word. We serve as a partner with them in carrying out this responsibility.
The Nhcs staff and program honor Biblical principles which build character. The staff are all dedicated to Christ and determined to teach by example. Respect for authority, respect for each other and personal responsibility are integrated throughout the school program. This offers our students excellent and effective life training, which is the most important aspect of education. A godly and values-based school environment prevents our students from many negative elements they might face elsewhere.
Our mission is to reach children for the Lord; provide a Christ-centered education which will give them the opportunity to acquire the spiritual, academic, social and physical skills necessary to reach their God-given potential. We encourage each student to make positive contributions to their world according to God's plan for their lives.
