At NOCA students will learn language and literature, history, geography, government, math, the sciences, music, and the visual arts in a coherent and orderly program that runs from the rudiments of basic literacy and math skills to higher orders of thought and expression. Students will be taught an organized sequence of skills and core knowledge through sound, time-proven methods. They will read classic works of literature, study fine arts, and learn first-hand accounts of history through the study of primary source documents, including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Students will receive rigorous training in the fundamentals and theories of math and science, including the scientific method, and will benefit from Socratic instructional techniques and training in study skills that further foster learning and character development. Through the Socratic Method, students will learn to ask important questions, setting them on the path to understanding themselves and their world, and encouraging them to act ethically and responsibly.
