[edit] History

Although NEC had existed since 1967, it was in 1979 that the UNIES was formed to assume control and broadened the scope of education to include academic post-secondary courses. The school moved into its current facilities in 1985, a building featuring architectural features of a traditional Pacific Coast longhouse.
