Northland Christian School is an authentic school community that thrives on the family atmosphere.
There are many things that set us apart from the schools around us.
First, NCS is a community that honors God in all that we do.
We put His glory and will above our own as we work to create future disciples for Christ.
All that we teach is based in Biblical Truth and we provide our students with the knowledge to defend what they know and believe.
It is our goal to strengthen every student's personal relationship with Jesus Christ as we provide them with the tools and abilities to do all that God has called them to do.
Second, NCS is a school of intellectual advancement and academic rigor.
Our goal is to be the best at providing a Christian college-preparatory program for students in preK-12 th grade.
Since its inception in 1974, Northland Christian has ensured that students are engaged with a demanding, well-rounded curriculum that is fully integrated with a Biblical worldview.
Third, NCS is an authentic group of people that value community.
When stepping on campus, it is easy to see and feel why people come to NCS and stay at NCS. The faculty and staff truly love students and work to create lasting impressions that these young men and women take with them as they become the salt and light in the world.
As a school community, we love the families that make up NCS. We are a school that encourages parent involvement and desire to partner with parents in the educational process.
Finally, NCS is truly One Family that is here to serve in the name of the Lord.
Northland is known for the service that is done outside the walls of the classroom.
Last year alone, students completed over 8000 hours of service in and around the local community.
