Re-enrollment 2016-17
NFCS Re-enrollment for the 2016-2017 school year is officially open!

Can you believe the 2015-2016 school year is more than half over? The Admissions Office is getting busier by the day. In fact, more students are enrolled now than when school started in August! And it doesn't seem to be slowing down. We are so grateful for God's goodness to us.

You can complete the re-enrollment process by using our RenWeb on-line program. Please check your email for more details on the re-enrollment process and the benefit of early re-enrollment (by February 29th).
Thank you for your commitment to NFC. We are blessed to have you as part of the NFC family.
