NCA Weekly Newsletter

March 20, 2026

Hello NCA Families,

The first week of our last marking period saw us roll out some new learning opportunities for our scholars. Our new afterschool clubs present the opportunity to learn new skills beyond the traditional school day. This term, scholars have the chance to develop their builder skills in Lego Club, learn about plants and beautify our school garden in Garden Club, and develop strategic-thinking skills through Chess Club. .

Our Virtue This Month: Courage

"I will do the right thing, even when it is unpopular or difficult."

Here are five important events and/or announcements for this week:

NCA Open House - Saturday, March 21st, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

NCA College Night (for 8-10th Grade Families) - March 26th, 6:00 PM

Celebrating the Senior Class of 2026!

Our next Senior Spotlight is with Kaeden Maus.

Kaeden has studied at Naples Classical Academy for the last two years.

His favorite classical book from the curriculum is "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad.

The most important thing he has learned at NCA is to be disciplined in his speech, and always uphold the truth.

The virtue that has been most cultivating in his own life from his formation at NCA is Perseverance.

His current post-high school plans consist of establishing his own pressure and soft washing business, and traveling the world.
