Safe, Christ-centered extended care and summer experiences for NHCA and local families, where every child is personally known and supported.

A Supportive Start and Finish to Each School Day

What Makes Our Adventure Club Different

At New Hope Christian Academy, the Adventure Club is far more than a basic childcare option. This program provides intentional before and after school care, giving K–5 students a secure, structured, and nurturing environment outside regular classroom hours. Our mission is to serve families in Circleville and nearby communities who value a Christ-centered approach and need extended care from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Each day, children are welcomed by familiar faces who know them by name, ensuring that the warmth and character-building of NHCA continue throughout their day. The Adventure Club is open to both NHCA students and families from the wider area, making it a trusted resource for working parents who want their children to be cared for in a wholesome, positive setting.
