Welcome to North Central Academy

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

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

Latest Health Department Order

We had really hoped to have our 9-12 grade students back in-person learning this week, unfortunately, the Governor has decided to extend their remote learning until at least December 20h. We hope to have our 9-12 grade students resume in-person learning after Christmas Break on January 4th.  Thankfully, our K-8 students can remain learning in person.  We have heard from many of you and we understand the toll remote learning is taking on many of our high schoolers., if your 9-12 grade student is struggling mentally, emotionally, or academically please reach out to us. We are here to help! I will send an update once we hear from the Governor again.  If you have any questions please call or text Jill Kettlewell at 231-495-1115.
