About Northeast Christian Academy
Our story
A reading program in 1976. A school ever since.
NECA began as a reading program in 1976. Northeast Christian Academy was established the following year and has served the families of El Paso and Juarez since then.
After fifty years, the school has grown to K3 through 12th grade with graduates serving in the local community and around the world. We believe that every child is unique gift from God, and we strive to come alongside any family desiring to raise their child in a loving Christian environment.
NECA has a ministry relationship with Sun Valley Baptist Church. Final public wording for that relationship will be provided by the school.
A word of welcome
Thank you for considering NECA.
Choosing a school is one of the more significant decisions a family makes. We do not take lightly that parents would consider entrusting their children to us for the better part of a day, five days a week. Our aim is straightforward: sound academics, taught by teachers who care for their students, in a setting where Scripture, chapel, and Christian character are priorities. If you are considering NECA for your family, the best next step is a visit. Call the office, walk the campus, and get to know our community in person.
Northeast Christian Academy
What we believe
A Christian school, plainly stated.
As a ministry of Sun Valley Baptist Temple, Northeast Christian Academy affirms the following:
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe Jesus Christ is the virgin-born Son of God who lived a sinless life, died as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, ascended into heaven, and will one day return. We believe salvation is by God's grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. We believe every believer is called to pursue spiritual growth, holy living, and faithful service through the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, resulting in eternal life or eternal separation from God.
Our standard
P.R.I.D.E.
Five words the school returns to in classrooms, chapel, and competition. They are taught, named, and expected.
Perseverance
Hard work continues after the first attempt. Students are asked to stay with a subject until it is understood, and teachers keep working alongside them while it happens. Perseverance is practiced in ordinary places: a math page, a memory verse, a second try in the gym.
Respect
Teachers, classmates, families, and the campus itself are treated with courtesy. Respect shows up in how students speak in the hallway, how they treat a substitute, how they handle a loss, and how they talk about people who are not in the room.
Integrity
Honest work and honest words, including when no adult is watching and nothing is being graded. Students are taught that character is not a performance for teachers; it is who they are on an unremarkable Tuesday.
Determination
Goals are set, kept in view, and pursued through the ordinary weeks of a school year. Determination is the habit that carries a student from an interest into a skill, whether that is reading, writing, an instrument, or a sport.
Excellence
Careful effort offered as service, not as competition with the student sitting nearby. Excellence at NECA means finished work, clear thinking, and a willingness to do a thing properly because it is worth doing properly.
Accreditation and affiliations
Where NECA stands.
Northeast Christian Academy is currently a candidate for accreditation with the National Association of Private Schools.
