NCS Member Organizations
Our school is built around incorporating students into social and institutional networks in their community. Coordinated by our central administrative office, our member organizations teach classes at their locations throughout Eugene, which students travel to by bike or city bus. Our class offerings are determined both by what students need to meet their educational goals, and the particular focus of the member organization designing each class.
Each member organization finds qualified individuals to design and teach classes in the subject areas that organization specializes in. Nearby Nature, for instance, teaches classes in biology, environmental science, and fly-fishing, while M.E.C.C.A teaches art and art history classes, Creative Minds teaches math & science, and multimedia arts, and Le Petit Gourmet teaches both culinary and history classes. While each M.O. teaches classes in their particular area of focus, we work together to design a full course schedule that will allow our students to meet their curricular needs.
