We thank our veterans for their sacrifices, courage, strength and dedication to keeping us safe. The scholars at NCA are excited to celebrate their service to this great country. We would like to invite all veteran parents and grandparents who have served in The United States Armed Forces in wartime or peacetime to our campus on November 11th for a Veterans Day presentation.

If your child has a parent or grandparent who has served in the U.S. Armed Forces who would like to participate, please fill out this form by October 27th. We would be blessed to have all veterans stand and introduce themselves to our scholars. Thank you for your service.

NCA Bookstore

Did you know that our book fair is year round? Please continue to use this link for purchasing books for family and friends to benefit the children and help us grow the classroom libraries (and eventually a school library!) Proceeds from the purchases will go back to our school when you set up your account and link it to Naples Classical.

Our next in-school book fair is scheduled for December 2-9, 2025. Scholars and parents can see a large sampling of the books that are offered. There will be more details about this event to come as we get closer.

We will be in need of some amazing parent volunteers; if you want to help out with this event, and haven't become a CCPS approved volunteer yet, you can get started here today: https://naplesclassical.org/become-a-volunteer/

Sign-ups for volunteer opportunities for the book fair will be shared at a later date.
