Spiritual formation
Committed Christian parents seek to cultivate profound, personal, and lasting faith in their children. They desire to “train up a child in the way he should go; [for] even when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). At Naples Christian Academy, our mission of partnering with committed Christian parents informs and guides the spiritual formation process, such that students take hold of biblical truth, sound theology, and the gospel of Jesus – and walk with the Lord all the days of their lives. Discipleship, then, is personal, systematic, and integrated into every part of the school day. Teachers engage in this process, walking with students over the course of their education, knowing students deeply and speaking into their lives. Teachers integrate biblical truth – and a biblical worldview – into every subject area. Students experience opportunities to discover their God-given gifts and abilities, and to use those gifts to meet the world’s needs in service to the King. The entire NCA team partners with parents to guide and mentor every NCA student over the course of his or her education – all with the end goal of sending out fully devoted followers of Christ to the ends of the earth.
Core values
As a Christ-centered institution, our core values define who we are and ensure we remain committed to carrying out our vision and mission with excellence and integrity.
Discipleship
Our teachers know and understand their students’ hearts, spiritual gifts, and areas of growth; they readily and energetically take opportunities to individually counsel and mentor students for their spiritual development.
Growth
Each student progresses at a different rate; teachers meet students where they are and encourage their continual spiritual and academic growth, helping each student recognize his or her unique gifts. Our teachers develop students with minds disciplined to think Biblically as they pursue growth, lifelong learning, and excellence in all things.
Joy
We are a community of joy spreaders! We live in dependence on God and on one another. Regardless of circumstances, we have hearts impassioned to love God.
Biblical Community
We cultivate a community that feels like a family. When you walk into Naples Christian Academy, you experience an environment of Christ-centered love and peace.
Servant Leadership
We are called by God to serve one another in love. Our students identify needs and seek creative means of meeting the needs of others, using their unique, God-given gifts. We train students to be missional – developing hands prepared to serve.
Chapel
Weekly chapels encourage student growth and formation as we engage in corporate worship and benefit from expository bible teaching.
Missions
All NCA students engage in service opportunities, learning how to best come alongside missions partners to build Christ’s kingdom.
Samaritan’s Purse
Families pack essential items, toiletries, and new toys into shoe boxes in the months leading up to Christmas, providing physical blessing to recipients while also praying for their salvation. Samaritan’s Purse ships these boxes all over the world for distribution to children at risk.
Grace Center Ethiopia
Students raise funds to give to the world’s most vulnerable women and children in Ethiopia.
Laces of Love
Families school-wide collect new shoes for local distribution, partnering with Laces of Love, an organization that provides new athletic shoes and socks to families living in poverty across Collier County.
Servant Leadership Team
Middle school students gather once a week to identify areas of potential service for students across all grade levels. Servant leadership team members are the first to volunteer to serve themselves even as they garner support, coordinate logistics, and demonstrate a high capacity for leadership and service.
8th Grade International Missions Trip
8th grade students plan student ministries and participate in work projects on an international missions trip every spring. They raise support and ask for prayer partners and donors from the entire student body.
Statement of faith
In as much as Naples Christian Academy is interdenominational and theologically conservative, the basis of the Academy is the Word of God and the great fundamentals of Christianity found in the following unalterable, irreducible essentials of the Christian faith:
Our rich history
Naples Christian Academy was founded in 1973 by a group of parents from Covenant Church in Naples, Florida who desired to carry out the biblical command found in Proverbs 22:6: “train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This group of parents sought to establish a small, Christian school committed to integrating the Bible into every part of the school day. They also prioritized excellence in academics as they sought to hire and retain outstanding educators for their children. Through challenges and joys, we continue on in this vein today at Naples Christian Academy, seeking both biblical integration and academic excellence, relying on our team of outstanding educators to partner with committed Christian parents to disciple and train the next generation of fully devoted followers of Christ.
