58% of our students are Nicaraguan, 26% are North American, and the rest represent 9 countries around the world.

Situation:

  • Nicaragua is a country in desperate need of moral leadership, evidenced by political instability, economic crisis, and decreasing respect for authority.
  • Nicaraguans are bombarded with foreign secular mass media, bringing many negative values and influence.
  • Loss of national identity Nicaraguans want to be like other countries and are losing touch with their own rich history and tradition.
  • Nicaragua Christian Academy does not have an adequate facility for school programs and for students to put to use their God-given talents and abilities.
  • The Christian community in Nicaragua does not have an affordable facility for Christian programs and presentations.

Response: We seek to equip our students to transform their culture rather than let that culture transform them. We seek to provide a facility in which God's work can be carried out in the area of arts, music and drama with the purpose of furthering God's Kingdom!
