Our commitment to creating a transformative learning environment begins with our own team. We believe that to nurture wise, capable, and joyful students, our staff must be engaged in a constant process of learning, reflection, and collaboration.
This dedication to advanced learning is how we ensure that every member of our community is equipped to do more than just their job—they are equipped to be mentors.
Every year, the week before school officially begins, our entire staff comes together.
It is a time to reunite as a community, to learn new skills that will help us in our work, and to collaborate in small groups to plan and integrate our curriculum for the year ahead.
This shared experience ensures that every member of our team, in every role, is aligned with our school’s mission from day one.
The learning and collaboration continue all year long. Every week, our staff gathers for a meeting to reflect on our students, share important updates, and discuss what’s happening at the school.
These regular meetings allow us to recognize where students are emotionally when working with them academically, coordinate our efforts to manage their workload, and work together to foster a true “ecosystem of mentoring.”
Beyond our weekly meetings, our staff receives specific training to be guides and facilitators, not just instructors.
A key example is our Wildfire program, where teachers learn how to facilitate discussions on complex topics, adapt their teaching to individual learning styles, and create a non-hierarchical environment where students feel empowered to participate.
This deep and ongoing commitment to our own learning is what makes the NCA community so strong.
It creates a team that is not only skilled but also deeply connected, supportive, and united in the purpose of helping every student thrive

Inspired by the principles of service and unity in diversity, Nancy Campbell Academy is a world embracing school where students find authentic happiness in a supportive community.
We offer a unique education that values character as much as grades, preparing students for a life of leadership and purpose.
We would like to acknowledge that Stratford is on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral (Attawandaron) peoples.
This treaty land is rich in Indigenous history and remains home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples today.
We are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and play on this land.
