NCS is an independent day school for girls. We believe in the power of young women and educate them. These family relationships tend to last a lifetime.

Since 1900 NCS has educated a diverse group of young women of strong character, great intelligence, and skill. Our teachers respect and challenge each girl and inspire excellence, independence, self-discipline, and creativity. Consequently, students truly commit to their classes; they develop a strong work ethic; and they express themselves freely and fully. Our classrooms and hallways are lively
