North Coast Christian Academy Expands to Serve Nursery, Preschool, and K-4th Grade for Fall 2026
SEASIDE, Ore. – North Coast Christian Academy (NCCA), a faith-based independent school serving families across South Clatsop County, has announced an expansion of its elementary program for the 2026–2027 school year. Beginning this fall, the academy will serve children from Nursery and Preschool through 4th Grade — adding 3rd and 4th grade to an elementary program that previously concluded at 2nd Grade. The expansion reflects sustained community demand and the academy’s commitment to keep growing alongside the families it serves.
Enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year is now open, and families interested in any program — Nursery, Preschool, or K–4th Grade — are encouraged to schedule a visit. Prospective families are welcome to tour the campus at 2245 N. Wahanna Road, Suite A, in Seaside, meet the teachers, ask questions about curriculum and tuition, and learn how NCCA’s faith-centered approach prepares students academically, spiritually, and socially. Financial assistance is available for families who need it, so cost does not have to stand in the way of enrolling.
“Adding 3rd and 4th grade is more than a program update — it’s a promise to the families who have walked with us from the beginning,” said Sarah Brooks-Dudgeon, Director of North Coast Christian Academy. “Parents have asked us to keep going, and we’re honored to do that. Our goal has always been to give every child a Christ-centered, academically excellent foundation — and now we get to extend that foundation two more years. As more families join us each year, we fully intend to keep growing right along with them.”
NCCA’s program is built around the Abeka curriculum, a structured, teacher-led course of study with more than 50 years of independent results showing students consistently performing above national averages in reading and math. Instruction is intentionally screen-light, with mastery confirmed by the teacher before any student advances. The school’s approach to early literacy — phonics-first and systematic — aligns with Oregon’s 2023 Early Literacy Framework, which guides districts statewide toward structured literacy instruction.
Beyond academics, NCCA is designed for working families. The campus offers on-site after- school care with a Seaside School District bus stop on the property, and the school does not observe in-service days, providing a consistent, predictable schedule throughout the year. Specialist instruction in Music, Spanish, and PE / Martial Arts is included for every student, alongside daily outdoor recreation and a spacious, modern indoor play area built for active learning on the Oregon Coast.
With small classes and a total enrollment of fewer than 120 students, every child is known by name. NCCA practices open enrollment with no lottery and no waitlist, and a scholarship fund is available to help families for whom tuition would otherwise be a barrier.
“We want every family in our community to know the door is open,” Brooks-Dudgeon added. “Whether you’ve been considering Christian education for years or you’re hearing about us for the first time, we’d love to have you visit, look around, and ask anything you want. There’s no pressure — just a conversation.”
