The MSA Visiting Team periodically inspects 12 standards that must be aligned in compliance with the NCC Mission, Principles and Graduate Profile. The team assesses the school's administration; executive and educational leadership; implementation of the academic curriculum; financial situation; organizational ability of the staff; health and safety; educational programming; school assessment processes and evidence of school performance; student services; school life and student activities; school resources and student welfare, among others

This assessment allows for objective and external results to be obtained on the quality of the school, the achievements of its students and overall school management.

During his last inspection visit in November 2022, Mr. Michael Emborsky, Chair Person of the Visiting Team said:

““After meeting with many of the teachers and other staff members, students, administrators, and parents, it's clear that NCC is an organization committed to being the best bilingual school in the region, if not the country! From our discussions with all stakeholders it was clear that the NCC is committed to being accessible to everyone who applies and can afford NCC. All the stakeholders we spoke to love the school, they're proud to be part of it and seem truly committed to the future of New Castelar

Los estudiantes y los padres aprecian mucho no sólo el alto nivel de instrucción académica, la excelencia en la enseñanza del inglés y del español, y el sentimiento de comunidad y “familia” que muchos describieron, sino que expresaron que los estudiantes se sienten bienvenidos aquí y están bien integrados en la comunidad escolar. El personal también expresó sentirse parte de un ambiente “familiar”. Como visitantes, podemos entender estos comentarios, ya que observamos alumnos extremadamente bien educados y amables que obviamente se preocupan por los demás, y fuimos testigos de interacciones positivas entre alumnos y profesores. Está claro que NCC es un lugar especial.

Our team was impressed by the support and operations staff we observed during our visit. Buildings and courtyards are well-maintained and immaculately clean, cafeteria and housekeeping staff members are efficient, service-oriented and attentive. Their hard work creates a comfortable and welcoming learning environment”.
