Dear parents and guardians - 

We are excited to let you know that ALL students in grades 7 through 11 who are currently enrolled at Newcomer Academy (NCA) can return to NCA for the 2025-26 school year!  We are looking forward to continuing our work with your child next year.

Our specialized programming includes:

  • English language development at all levels and support in classes for continued academic growth.

  • After-school enrichment and athletics

  • Transportation provided for all students

  • Campus-wide focus on welcoming and supporting multilingual students in their scholastic endeavors

  • Preparation for transition to future studies or careers after graduation from high school (including dual-credit courses)

We are committed to supporting our students every step of the way.  If you have any questions or would like more information about NCA or other school options, please call us at (502) 485-6324 or email us at nca-counselor@jefferson.kyschools.us

Thank you for considering NCA as your partner in education!



Congratulations to three of our staff members who were selected to participate in the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Affairs - Global Louisville Leadership Academy.  Anne Miller, Luis Suazo, and Nina Flores will participate in the program designed to empower international and foreign-born residents of our community.  Thank you to these three for their leadership!


Parents - have you had a chance to share your child’s immunization history with our school nurses?  Please share a copy with us!  If you do not have a copy, please check with our school nurse for more information.  (Call 502-485-6324 and ask for Nurse McAlmont)


February 27 we had the honor to host a naturalization ceremony.  Most of our students were able to witness over 60 immigrants become citizens of the United States!  Check out these articles on WAVE 3 and Courier Journal to learn more! 


Thanks to our neighbors at SeeForward Ministries for creating this beautiful video about our “This Is Africa” event February 14.
