Our Mission and Vision

 Neighborhood Christian Schools (NCS) operates under the mission of Agape Schools, Inc., a California nonprofit corporation. We are dedicated to partnering with parents to provide a Christ-centered educational environment that promotes the holistic development of children.

 Our Schools

 - Neighborhood Christian Center (NCC): Established in 1981, NCC offers a range of programs including an Infant Center for ages 6 weeks to 24 months, and preschool classes for older children. Our experienced staff is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can grow spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.

 - Neighborhood Christian Preschool (NCP): With nearly two decades of service in San Jose, NCP offers programs for children from six weeks old up to those about to enter first grade. Our holistic approach to early learning ensures that each child receives individualized attention to foster their development in all areas.

-Hillside Neighborhood Academy (HNA): Nestled in the Communications Hill neighborhood of San Jose, HNA is our newest addition to the Agape Schools family. Serving children ages 2 through 5, HNA brings the same faith-based, play-based approach to early learning that families have come to trust across our campuses — in a warm, close-knit community setting.

-Neighborhood Preschool Academy (NPA): Coming soon to the Agape Schools family, NPA will serve children ages 2 through 5 in a nurturing, faith-filled environment built on the same foundation of love, purpose, and whole-child development that defines every Agape Schools campus. We look forward to welcoming our first families soon!

 Our Philosophy 

At NCS, we believe in the importance of early childhood education that integrates spiritual growth with academic excellence. Our play-based programs are designed to support the development of the whole child, preparing them for future educational success and a lifelong relationship with Christ.

 We look forward to welcoming you to the NCS family and partnering with you in your child's early education journey.
