"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Psalm 119:105
Nicaragua Christian Academy is a unique school with an exciting task in Nicaragua. The
country of Nicaragua is in desperate need of moral leadership, suffering for hundreds
of years at the hands of leaders who have put their own agenda ahead of the good of the
country. The students enrolled at NCA come from well-connected families and will be
placed into positions of leadership and influence in the future. In keeping with our
motto of Academic Excellence with a Christian Foundation, NCA seeks to train up future
leaders to demonstrate true servant leadership and make decisions based on the Word of
God and a compassion for their country. As a teacher at NCA, you are given the awesome
responsibility of teaching and preparing children for leadership in government, business,
education, the church, and their communities. Our vision is to reclaim the country of
Nicaragua for God!
