Northeast Christian Academy was birthed in 1992 out of a desire to provide the children of our church and community with Christ-centered, academically excellent education. The leadership of Praise Assembly saw a real need and also an opportunity to reach out to unchurched families in Garfield and the surrounding cities.

       Our children need an environment in which peer pressure and society's rejection of God do not interfere with their ability to learn and retain information. They need a safe haven from all that the world and sometimes even their own families throw at them. They find this at Northeast Christian Academy. Here, our teachers love the Lord and love their students. The classes are not overcrowded - maximum class size is 15 students. There is time to individually instruct and help each student. Our teachers are free to pray with students who express a special need or who are struggling.

       Our curriculum is advanced and the reading program is phonics - based, which research has proven to be the best method for reading instruction. Over the years, our children have tested on average at least one full year ahead of the national norm.
