I have sent all of my kids to Northwest Christian and could not have been more blessed by the relationships, the teaching and life preparation that the kids received. All were prepared for excellence in College and the track record is showing in character, career and choices. A recent Doctor PT from Loma Linda University, an engineer a few years removed from full scholarship at St. Martins University, another has entered the business world of finance and mortgage, another in Justice studies recommended by faculty to enter Law school, and this last one on his way to Grand Canyon University. The school will work with you financially because it is not easy for single income households. Now I can save a little money for retirement, I hope.
