Construction on New Braunfels Christian Academy’s, or NBCA’s, 50,000-square-foot, two-story academic building at 220 FM 1863 began early October, Head of Schools Nick Reeves told Community Impact . “We need more space for Christian leaders,” Reeves said. What we know The $15 million academic building will serve sixth- to 12th-grade students, have 37 classrooms, a career and technology space, oces, and a gather- ing space for meetings. “When I got here in 2020, we were already feeling the limitations of our classroom capacity,” Reeves Construction begins for $15M academic building

said. “Many of our grade levels have been full and have had waiting lists. Many families have been on waiting lists for years.” The project is being funded through donations from academy donors and people connected to the NBCA community. Once completed, the academy will move its kindergarten- to fth-grade students from the current elementary campus into the new academic building which will be converted into an early childhood center for children from 6 weeks old to those in pre-K, Reeves said.
The catalyst With 650 students currently enrolled, Reeves said enrollment at NBCA is anticipated to grow by 38.46% by the 2030-31 school year, to 900 stu- dents. Although that projection does not include the opening of the academy’s early childhood center and the additional students it may have, Reeves said. “This will actually increase our overall student capacity,” he said.
