 
With much prayer, excitement and anticipation, The Next Step event on November 6, 2008 announced a major school expansion plan. Our staff, board, and families were asked to Join the Journey of NRCA in support of the expansion efforts to better accommodate our growing student body. Because of the Lord's provision through board of governance stewardship, and the generosity of many families and friends, our campus looks quite different today. We have added a new elementary gymnasium, a new soccer field, and a three story courtyard wing with sixteen high school classrooms and expanded fine arts areas with two music rooms and a dance studio.
With $4,406,402 raised toward the $6M needed, EVERY GIFT MATTERS. We are seeking additional families, friends, companies, and foundations who will help finish the capital campaign through to our Next Step…educating for eternity goal.
Gifts to the Annual Fund provide unrestricted contributions to be used for areas of the school that will have the greatest impact. NRCA has a 15-year tradition of giving that began in 1996 with the "Family Pledge" and has continued today with the Annual Fund. Each year, parents are encouraged to make a tax-deductible donation to the school.
Since 2003, Annual Fund contributions total $723,250. These funds are used to supplement tuition, and directly impact our mission of assisting families through Christian education excellence in academics, fine arts, and athletics. Our Board of Governors is committed to keeping tuition at the mid-point of area private schools. The Annual Fund provides the financial resources to help us accomplish that for our families.
