Nebraska Christian Schools, also known as NCS, is located in Central City, Nebraska.

History
Nebraska Christian Schools first opened its doors in September 1959 under the leadership of Walter O. Ediger, Administrator. It began as a boarding school for 9th through 12th grade students, largely from the Sandhills of Nebraska. The first year, 6 faculty members taught 38 students and oversaw boys and girls dormitories.

In 1971 a junior high (7th and 8th grade) program was added, and in 1977 grades Kindergarten through 6 were added as well.

The mission of the school is "to assist the family and church by providing a Christ-centered education, equipping students with a Biblical worldview and encouraging a love relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ."
