What families say

“We asked our student how she would rate NMM and she said 10/10. After the competition we asked her if she could travel back in time one year, knowing everything about NMM that she knows now, would she encourage or discourage herself to participate in NMM. She said she would still encourage herself to do it because she knows it is helping her grow and trust in the Lord.” — Stacey NMM Parent

“I can’t think of a more significant experience to capstone F/E. This was probably the biggest, most memorable event of my student’s young life and it has highly impacted mine too! It seems silly but this was so much more than just memorizing and money, it was so God-filled!” — Gina NMM Parent

“For me it was a final celebration of the memory work of Foundations and Essentials and a welcoming shift into the Challenge years and deeper learning. The competition was filled with laughter, celebration, and meaningful friendships. It wasn’t about winning, it was about glorifying God.” — Evangeline 2025 NMM Champion
