Another aspect of school life at NCCS is our mentor program. Each of our older students are paired with one of our younger students, cultivating a unique multiage bond. Our older students benefit by learning leadership and interpersonal skills, while our younger students enjoy having an older friend to look up to. Several mentor/mentee pairs are then organized into multiage groups called “houses.” These houses work together throughout the year on everything from STEM challenges and community building games to service projects.
