NCS was founded by a group of Baptist ministers looking to establish a school in the Whitehaven section of Memphis, Tennessee, in 1973. Programs for kindergarten through Grade 8 began in 1973, and grades 9-12 were added the following year. The school is dually accredited with SAIS and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. NCS is also a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, the TAIS, and the TSSAA. As of 2014, the school is the third-largest private school in Greater Memphis.[2] HistoryNCS was established in 1973 as a segregation academy formed by white parents seeking to avoid sending their children to racially integrated public schools.[3] Prior to the 2013-2014 school year, the school was known as SBEC (Southern Baptist Educational Center). The name change was made to better show the school as serving the entire Christian faith and to represent the school's geographical location in the state of Mississippi and DeSoto County.
