Dear NCCL Alumni Community,

We’re reaching out to share an important update, and an invitation.

After thoughtful reflection, NCCL School will be transitioning to a K–5 program beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. We know our middle school program has meant so much to so many of you, and we hold that legacy with deep gratitude. It has shaped lives, built lasting relationships, and remains an essential part of NCCL’s story.

This next step is about ensuring that NCCL continues to thrive for years to come, focusing on the small, multi-age classrooms, meaningful relationships, and hands-on, experiential learning rooted in progressive education that have always been at the heart of the school.

As we step into this next chapter, we are launching our Spring Appeal with a goal of raising $100,000 from today until June 30 to support this transition. If you have ever considered making a gift to your school, now is the time. If NCCL has been meaningful in your life, we invite you to be part of this moment.

Hey Alumni! We'd love to see you at Community Day. Stop by to say hi!

Come See Us at Community Day!

Join NCCL School on the UD Green this Sunday, 9/21 from 11am–4pm!
Stop by our table to chat with teachers, current parents, students, and alumni, and learn more about our vibrant, progressive K–8 community. We can't wait to see you!

We welcomed Ann and Marilynn for a visit last Friday! It was wonderful having them on campus together.

Help fund a new school van!

NCCL's fiscal year ends tomorrow 6/30 at 11:59pm!

We’ve received a generous grant toward a new school van, and now we need your help to get us the rest of the way there!

Vans are essential to NCCL life — from apprenticing and camping to field trips and hands-on learning, they help bring our progressive education to life.

🎉 Every dollar brings us closer to putting a new van on the road for our students — not just for now, but for years to come.
