School History
Overview
For over 25 years, the faculty and staff at Faith Christian School have been partnering with parents and students to cultivate a mind to love learning, a heart to pursue Christ, and a will to serve.
As a classical Christian school, we are a community dedicated to the cultivation of our students' hearts, minds, and souls desiring that our students graduate from Faith loving Jesus, loving what God loves, and being equipped to influence culture rather than being influenced by it.
North Cross School, located in Roanoke, Virginia and serving families in Southwest Virginia is a private, independent college-preparatory, day and boarding school grounded in a strong liberal arts and science curriculum combined with exceptional co-curricular art and athletic programs.
