A Pre-school and Elementary school rooted in faith, kindness, and academic depth — built for children who ask a lot of questions and for the families who love them.
We believe the early years are sacred ground. Our classrooms are warm, orderly, and full of wonder — places where reading circles, recess games, and the Lord's Prayer all belong in the same day.
Every student is known by name, challenged at their level, and loved the way a family loves.
Play-based learning, storytelling, and the first big steps toward reading and counting.
Nursery · Kinder 1 · Kinder 2 →Where fluent readers and confident problem-solvers are made — one chapter book at a time.
Curriculum & subjects →Deeper reading, written essays, Filipino heritage, robotics club, and leadership that looks like service.
Subjects & electives →"A school is not a building. It is the way grown-ups speak to children, the songs we sing at assembly, the silence we keep before we pray. At Nataniel Castle, we try to get all of that right — one little heart at a time."
Terrariums, tiny ecosystems, and one very surprising volcano — this year's projects showed what deep, hands-on science looks like at eleven years old.
Congratulations to our finalists from Grades 3, 4, and 6 — and to every teacher who read with them at lunch.
Chapter books, picture books, Tagalog storybooks — every child in our school gave at least one.
"Five-year-olds have the best questions in the world. My job is to keep asking them back."
"Math isn't about being fast. It's about not giving up on the puzzle."
"A child who falls in love with one book will fall in love with a hundred more."
We picked NCA for the academics. We stayed because our daughter comes home singing. Her teachers know her birthday, her favorite snack, and exactly when to push her.
My son was a shy reader in Grade 1. By Grade 3 he was reading chapter books out loud to his baby sister. Whatever NCA did, it worked — and it was gentle.
Applications are open for Nursery through Grade 6. The process is warm, honest, and designed so both you and your child leave our campus excited — whatever you decide.
