OUR HISTORY

Newnan Classical School (NCS) began in February 1999 when six dedicated families began seeking Christ-centered options for educating their children. Having some familiarity with the Classical School Movement in other parts of the country, it was decided that the Classical Model would provide the quality Christian education they were seeking. Developing a school that was grounded in the tradition of Western Culture and historic, biblical Christianity, NCS was established as a school where students would be taught how to think and how to learn.

NCS opened for classes in the Fall of 2000 with 38 students in Kindergarten thru 5th Grade. In its beginning until the Fall of 2003, NCS shared space with Immanuel Theological Seminary in Sharpsburg, Georgia. NCS moved to its current location in the Fall of 2003 upon establishing a relationship with Northside Baptist Church in Newnan. The current NCS campus is conveniently located approximately 3 miles from I-85 at exit 51 and approximately 7 miles from downtown Newnan, Georgia.

From its beginning until 2004, Newnan Classical School was a ministry of Christ Church Newnan (Presbyterian Church in America). In November of 2004, NCS was incorporated and moved out from under the umbrella of Christ Church Newnan to be an independent parent led school with a faculty/staff of 10. The governance of the school includes the NCS Board of Directors along with established committees in the areas of Development, Strategic Planning, and Facilities. NCS makes no distinction concerning any individuals race or ethnic background because we believe that persons are created in Gods image and that He makes no such distinctions in His redemption plan for all mankind.

NCS presently serves Kindergarten through 12th Grade with an experienced and qualified faculty who provide a clear model of biblical Christian life and sound biblical principals in their respective areas of teaching. Our teachers are avid learners that strive to impart their love for learning to their students. NCS added 9th Grade to its Logic School in the Fall of 2005.
