North Cobb Christian was founded in 1983, when four families wanted a Christian educational environment. They put the plans together and borrowed the building from the previous church. 36 children made up the grades from Kindergarten through third. The founders had not anticipated that the school would grow so fast, so over the next five years, a grade was added each year until the school reached eighth grade. The High school was not formed until about the mid-1990s, when the campus was much expanded. New buildings were constructed including: a gymnasium, media center, more classrooms, and computer labs. High school classes began in the fall of 1998.
North Cobb Christian has a Biblically based curriculum that includes many Honors and AP classes. NCCS offers all students a program known as Directed Studies. It consists of educational therapy, tutoring, and mentoring. Educational therapy is available for students with a diagnosed processing weakness. Tutoring is available for students who have gaps in achievement in subjects such as reading, math and language arts. Mentoring is available for secondary students who struggle to keep pace with the program and need additional help to organize and manage their school life."[1]
