The Scriptures are central to our curriculum. Our purpose is to
direct young people to the Lord Jesus Christ and to His fulfilling style of
life through the Scriptures and supporting materials. We make extensive use
of both A Beka and
Bob Jones texts. These enable teaching from a traditional
method. The School Of Tomorrow (SOT) and
Switched On Schoolhouse (SOS)
curricula/programs supplement the traditional style NHCS program by offering
individualized courses at levels designed to meet specific needs of
individual students.
 |
Traditional Curriculum: used for most
Elementary & Junior High courses. |
 |
Traditional Curriculum: use for Junior High

 |
Individualized Curriculum: Makes use of
packets called PACEs & is used as a supplement for traditional
curricula in all subjects. Students are able to make up work
or get ahead in classes. (also known as School of Tomorrow.) |
 |
Individualized Curriculum: The
Switched-on-Schoolhouse program by AOP is an individualized
curriculum taught on computer. Courses are offered in all
subjects. |
