All classes study the Bible as an academic course and teachers and students regularly consult the Bible for guidance, devotional thoughts and worship throughout the school day. Like all World Impact ministries, prayer undergirds all of Newark Christian School's activities. NCS seeks to develop language skills through an emphasis on literature and the arts. Students at every grade level take home library books of their own choosing each evening, develop their dramatic and storytelling abilities through creating their own plays and through regular participation in both major and minor school performances. Each class travels outside the school at least once per month for the purpose of exploring places and meeting people outside their normal life experiences.
All students take physical education, health and music classes.
After school opportunities include a chess club and an intramural basketball team. The school faculty and administration seek to enhance the family feeling of Newark Christian School through parties, picnics and special events. School personnel recognize their role to support families in the godly nurture of the children. Parents volunteer in many roles at NCS and are required to attend three individual conferences with their child's teacher, as well as supervise nightly homework assignments. NCS enjoys a high level of parental involvement in school programs and other events.
