Welcome to North Central Academy

We are a tuition-free K-12 public charter school created for a quality education. 

 

"Actions Over Words, Service Over Self."

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 29th from 1-7pm and on Friday, October 30th from 1-3:30pm. There will be two half days of school and students will be dismissed at 12:15pm on those days.

2020-21 ENROLLMENT 

North Central Academy is still taking enrollments for the 2020-21 school year.  Please fill out the online enrollment form to let us know of your interest.   For more information, please contact Jill Kettlewell at 231-495-1115 and set up a personalized tour. 

 

 

COVID Protocols

 

Now that school has resumed, please read about the protocols that we have put in place to keep NCA safe and open.

COVID Protocols

 

COVID-19 Busing Policies

 

Due to the Covid-19 and the bus seating arrangements, students may not switch between the buses.  As you know, safety is our number one priority.  We have seating charts in place for contact tracing purposes in the unfortunate event that we would ever need to use them.  If your student wants to go home with another student who rides a different bus, they will need to be picked up at the school.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.  Please contact Jill Kettlewell at 231-495-1115 with any questions.

 

 

Hands-On Learning and Character Education

Students at NCA learn academics through creative, hands-on projects.  

Our Great Expectations character education program teaches them life-long social skills.
