It is a curriculum school of the Barney Charter School Initiative of Hillsdale College, a network of classical charter schools united by curriculum and purpose. NOCA opened its doors in 2019, with 210 students in grades K-8, and has seen strong and steady growth. It now offers grades K-11, will add one additional grade each year through 12, and currently has approximately 480 students. It is a flourishing school with a passionate, dedicated teaching staff and families who value and enthusiastically support NOCA’s mission.
