The New Braunfels Christian Academy high school program endeavors to educate today’s youth for tomorrow’s world, giving them the confidence and leadership skills necessary to take charge of their futures. We acknowledge that each student is uniquely made by our Creator, so we provide the environment for students to discover and reflect upon their God-given gifts and talents intellectually and spiritually as they achieve individual excellence and grow in Christian discipleship.

High School Staff

We provide an interdisciplinary curriculum, dynamic learning process and small class size to promote consistent faculty and student interaction in a stimulating environment. We employ 21 degreed teachers who each hold state and ACSI teaching certificates.

Curriculum

Students benefit from a traditional and challenging academic setting organized in an eight period day with classes meeting for forty-seven minutes. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in English, government, chemistry, and calculus with Pre-AP classes in English, world history, geography, and US history.

Bible study is a vital part of the curriculum and a biblical viewpoint is regarded in all avenues of study. Each class is equipped with a computer learning center and two computer labs are available.

High school students participate in at least one sport per school year as a physical education requirement. Music and art are included in the curriculum, and through electives, students may enroll in a variety of fine arts courses. Each school day begins with devotions and prayer. Students attend chapel weekly.

Four-Year Plans: Graduation Requirements

Students are being offered two diploma options for graduation. Parents and students should review both of these college prep options and decide which would best fit their particular needs.
