ABOUT N.S.C.A. Location The school is located outside the rural village of Spencer, NY along route 34.
Address North Spencer Christian Academy 721 Ithaca Rd. Spencer, NY 14883 Phone: 607-589-6366 History The North Spencer Christian Academy was established in February, 1979 as a ministry of Baptist Bible Church. In 1982 construction of the building began. Philosophy
of Education 1) All knowledge comes from God. Whatever is true is of God. 2) Man has a fallen nature. Until he is set free from this nature by the redeeming death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, he can never be confident that any proposition is true. 3) Reality for the Christian includes the spiritual dimension. LANGUAGE: Language is a unique gift from God. Adam and Eve were able to talk with each other and with God from the moment of creation. They did pass on the gift to their children and to us. The study of language is the study of the rules which govern it. In English there are eight parts of speech. In order to communicate effectively through speech or writing, children must learn about those building blocks of language. LITERATURE: Literature is the study of what man has done with God's gift of language. The study must include the best examples of man's writings down through the ages. Whatever is studied must be morally and spiritually uplifting. MATHEMATICS: Math is the study of one aspect of the orderliness of God's creation. Math has absolute rules which are true for all time. Math is the tool for studying God's creation. SCIENCE: Science is the study of God's universe. Children must be taught that God created this universe out of nothing; that God created man's body out of the dust of the earth; that all scientific discoveries are a part of God's revelation of Himself and His mind to mankind. The theory of evolution must be taught as such; a theory which has never been proven. True science and the Bible are in perfect agreement because they both reveal God's truth about the workings of the universe. HISTORY: History is the study of what man has done with the time God has given him. All civilizations are not equally good. A culture has value in God's eyes directly in proportion to the degree it is established on and follows Christian, Biblical principles. Curriculum NSCA stands for Bible-centered and Christ-centered approach to education. NSCA uses the A BEKA Books curriculum from Pensacola Christian Schools, Florida. The curriculum is traditional in approach. Reading is taught phonetically. Most of the textbooks used are either published by or recommended by A BEKA Books. Other sources are used when deemed appropriate by the Board. NSCA realizes the need to utilize secular materials in some cases in order to standardize academic work. Admission Policies The North Spencer Christian Academy accepts students of all denominations (or no denomination) who demonstrate academic readiness and whose parents demonstrate a cooperative attitude with respect to our educational objectives. No student will be denied admission because of race, national origin, color, creed or sex. Parents do not need to be members of Bible Baptist Church to send their children to NSCA.
