This assessment allows for objective and external results of the school's quality, student achievement and overall school management

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

“"After meeting with many faculty and staff members, students, administrators and parents, it is clear that NCC is an organization committed to being the best bilingual college in the region, if not the country! From our conversations with all stakeholders it was clear that NCC is committed to being accessible to all who apply and can afford NCC. All of the stakeholders we spoke with love the school, are proud to be a part of it and seem truly committed to the future of New Castelar.

Students and parents are very appreciative not only of the high level of academic instruction, the excellence in English and Spanish instruction, and the feeling of community and "family" that many described, but expressed that students feel welcome here and are well integrated into the school community. Staff also expressed feeling part of a "family" environment. As visitors, we can understand these comments, as we observed extremely well-mannered and friendly students who obviously care about each other, and we witnessed positive interactions between students and teachers. It is clear that NCC is a special place.

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