Getting here from Davis Square
From Davis Square it is College Avenue and Winthrop Street through Medford Hillside into Medford Square, then a few minutes east on Salem Street — about fifteen minutes in morning traffic.
Davis is the easiest Red Line connection to us: the 96 bus leaves Davis for Medford Square and takes roughly twenty minutes, then it is a short bus hop or walk on Salem Street. Leave Davis around 7:20 to 7:25 for an 8:00 arrival.
These times come from published MBTA schedules, not a school guarantee. Call the office and we will tell you which run current families catch from Davis.

Why Davis Square families come to NECA
- A Red Line commute to Davis and one bus is all it takes to reach a Christian school at $375 a month, all in.
- Somerville and Tufts-area families who want structure, testing, and a small school find 40 students and 6 staff here.
- Diagnostic placement in every subject, so a child works at their real level rather than the middle of a large class.
How the school works
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.
