History

North Cobb Christian was founded in 1980 as a ministry of Grace Brethren Church on Big Shanty Road in Marietta, Georgia. The Christian School movement was underway, and it was proposed the church start a school. Pastor Dean Fetterhoff asked Rob Smith to chair a board to investigate the possibility. Early board members included Rob Smith, Betty Byers, and Harris Kruse.

Grace Christian School started in the fall of 1980, and was run by the church for three years. Each year, more non-church members sent their children to the growing school, so in 1983 it was decided that the school would be better served by breaking away from Grace Brethren Church. This was done in the fall of 1983, and the school changed its name to North Cobb Christian School. It stayed on the campus of Grace Brethren Church, where 36 children were enrolled in kindergarten through third grade.

Two years later land was purchased and the school moved to its current location. The founders had not anticipated that the school would grow so quickly, so over the next five years, a grade was added each year until the school reached eighth grade.

The high school was not formed until about the mid-1990s, when the campus was much expanded. New buildings were constructed, including a gymnasium, media center, more classrooms, and computer labs. High school classes began in the fall of 1998. In 2013 a new campus was introduced, with a natatorium, a stadium plaza, tennis courts, and new buildings for every major division of the NCCS curriculum (high school, middle school, lower school, and preschool).
