Introducing the Senior Class of 2026!


Our first Senior Spotlight is with Michael Bowden.


Michael has studied at Naples Classical Academy for the last four years.


His favorite classical book from the NCA curriculum is "The Iliad," by Homer.


The most important thing that he has learned at NCA is how to apply the Pillars of Virtue into everyday life. The virtue that he has most cultivated is Service, as now he tends to jump at every opportunity to help someone.


Beyond high school, he plans on attending college in order to pursue his aspirations of becoming a veterinary anesthesiologist.
