I have been incredibly impressed by the quality of the experience at NOCCS. The teachers are phenomenal, the leadership is incredibly dedicated and inclusive, but more than anything, I am astounded by the remarkable community they have fostered. My child is a first grader, so I was able to watch firsthand last year how, in the midst of a pandemic and remote learning, NOCCS made her feel welcome, connected, and included. I am so glad we are a part of this community and grateful that my children are able to benefit by being a member of this school.
