50 Years · 1976–2026
A Christian school where your child is taught at their own level.
Fifty years in Medford. Forty students. Every child tested, placed, and taught where they actually are — for under $400 a month.
Or call (781) 395-6116 — a person answers.

The model, in thirty seconds.
Your child is tested in each subject and placed where they actually are — not where their birthday says they should be. They set their own daily goals, work at their own desk, and can't move forward until they've mastered the material at 80% or better. A student who is ahead in math isn't held back. A student who needs another two weeks on fractions gets another two weeks. Nobody gets left behind and nobody gets bored.

You want faith taught, not mentioned
Scripture and character run through every subject and every day, not one weekly assembly.
You've been told private school is out of reach
$375 a month, all in. Under $400 for a full K-12 Christian education.
Your child needs to be known
Forty students, six staff — roughly seven students per adult. Nobody disappears.
You're leaving a school that wasn't working
Admissions are rolling and mid-year entry is considered case by case.
You want fourteen years in one place

What graduates say.
“NECA taught me how to work independently. By setting my daily goals, I learned early on in life the value and joy found in accomplishing even small tasks.”
“The individual attention given to each of us students made us know we were loved. It instilled in us the value and importance that God places on each life.”
