<P>Sandra,</P>
<P>While it is true that there is a 50 student cap per new entering class, you have to understand that growth occurs organically. A student body of 50 creates more demand for school services and the school responds by hiring more staff and faculty, precisely to maintain the small school feel (i.e., small class sizes, etc.), and as staff and faculty increases the need for more students (to finance the increase) becomes apparent. Over time caps on growth have to be reassessed, and adjusted accordingly.</P>
<P>Since NSA's founding there have been several caps on growth, and the college did adhear to those caps as long as they were relevant. Caps are based on changing circumstances, based on availability of facilities, faculty, staff, and the affect that a growing student population might have on the church. That's one of the reasons that we needed to start Trinity Reformed; and as NSA's growth gains momentum, it may be necessary to begin other fellowships to accomodate.</P>
<P>NSA would not be hiring people like Mitch Stokes and <FONT color=black>Bob Hieronymus</FONT>, if it didn't intend to flourish. Besides, how could something fail to prosper when it is so obviously blessed of God. And with this blessing, common grace abounds to the community at large.</P><BR>
