The Dream
The dream was to provide the opportunity for the poorest in the community to be able to not only receive an education, but to receive a Christian education.
During a medical campaign in Leon, Nicaragua, in 2002, one of the team members observed that many Nicaraguan children were not attending school. The reason was simple: money, money for uniforms, shoes, and supplies. The first thought was the need for a building for these children, and after two years of research and a small amount of money, land was located and construction began in 2006. In 2007, 103 preschool children stepped foot on campus to become Nicaragua Christian School’s first students.

Get Involved
This dream is a reality because individuals like you, churches, Sunday School classes, and other groups contribute to the building fund or sponsor a child. Sponsoring a child is $90 per month which provides uniforms, school supplies, and nutritional meals every day.
An education centered on Christ changes not only the life of a child, but the future of a country.
The Nicaragua Christian School year begins in early February and culminates with a graduation ceremony in November of each year. The current number of enrolled students is 602, ranging from age three through high school. There are now twelve buildings on campus, and these buildings house fourteen classrooms, two libraries, one chemistry lab, three offices, one computer lab, one sewing room, one kitchen, one maintenance and technology facility, and an auditorium that seats 600 people. Even though NCS is located in a city of extreme poverty, its faculty and staff receives scholastic awards from the Nicaragua Ministry of Education on an annual basis.
