NECS recognizes that the skill of reading is what all other learning builds upon. To ensure all children develop a strong foundation in literacy skills, we have implemented a multisensory approach to learning for preschool through eighth grade. A multisensory approach to learning recognizes that language is a complex system and customizes instruction to the unique needs of each learner. Using multiple pathways to teach and review concepts helps solidify the connection between what students hear, say, see, and write. This evidence-based approach aligns with the science of reading. Research shows that this approach to learning is the most effective way to teach children reading, spelling, and writing.

Learning about the world from a Biblical point of view is more important than ever. Analyzing and interpreting past and present events from God’s perspective is essential in developing a Christian worldview. In social studies, NECS students work together in collaborative learning groups, allowing them to problem-solve and increase engagement as they study American and world history.
