The Nancy Campbell Academy (formerly Nancy Campbell Collegiate Institute) is a grade 7 through 12 (day-school or residential) Canadian accredited international private Bahá'í school in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Emphasizing its "twin pillars" of academic excellence and a clear moral framework, NCA satisfies the Ministry of Education (Ontario) standards, leading to the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The Institute was named after Nancy Campbell (1905-1980), an accomplished pianist, artist, actress and dancer, who lived as a "world citizen" motivated by her belief in the Bahá'í Faith. Campbell worked to promote the ideal of the oneness of humanity, and was a dynamic speaker who travelled throughout the world giving lectures on peace and world unity. Breakwell Education Inc. established NCA in 1994. Within seven years of its founding, NCA was among 16 schools rated Number One in a Fraser Institute survey of 816 Ontario high schools.
Academic excellence and a defined moral framework, based on 19 Moral Leadership Capabilities, are the twin pillars of NCA. The Institution approaches the education process with a lenient model of teachers as counsellors, guides, and friends, based on a relationship of concern and mutual respect. The Secondary School (Grade 7 – 12) academic programs include:

Other programs include Independent Tutorial and accredited English as a Second Language as needed.
The Moral Framework used by the institute was adapted from the Moral Framework developed at Universidad Nur. It is harmonized with the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For example, two of the moral capabilities include:
