How Can I Help?

PhotoThe first and foremost way you can help is to pray for our school. We have seen God answer our prayers in amazing ways since the inception of the Academy, and firmly believe that only through God's power and through your continued prayers can we achieve our mission.

Moreover, much of NCA's existence is made possible by donations from people who share in the vision God has given to our school. We rely heavily on support for campus improvements, teaching supplies, and tuition assistance, as well as other immediate needs. If you would like to be involved in what God is doing at NCA, please look over some of our specific needs below.

Prayer

  • Teaching Candidates - Pray that God leads the right people to fill our openings for the upcoming academic year. To view the current teacher openings click here.
  • Long-range Campus Growth - Pray that funds, materials and labor will be provided as we look to enhance our ability to train our children.

Financial

All monetary gifts are tax-deductible; you will receive a receipt for your donation.

  • Give Online through ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). Select "Nicaragua Christian Academy - ISDS" for the giving opportunity. In the comments field, you may specify a project of your choice.
  • Send a Check to:
    ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International)
    P.O. Box 65130
    Colorado Springs, CO 80962-5130
    Make checks payable to "ACSI", and on the memo line, please specify "Nicaragua Christian Academy - ISDS."
  • Credit Card by Phone: Call the ACSI Development department's toll-free number: (866) 401-4801. Please have the credit card number, expiration date and security code1 available. Mention that you wish to donate to Nicaragua Christian Academy.

Current Projects

  • Sponsor a Child: - NCA has an immediate need for people to sponsor children whose parents dream of having their children study in a better school but whose economic situations prevent them from enrolling.
  • Fine Arts Center: - NCA has an immediate need for prayer and financial donations toward a new facility for our students to use their God-given talents and abilities in the performing arts and media. This will also be a facility used by the greater Christian community in Nicaragua.
  • Teacher Housing: - NCA has an immediate need for the development of adequate housing for our missionary teachers. We currently pay over $42,000 each year in rent costs.
