About Northside Christian School. Real Learning. Real Life. Northside Christian School offers a comprehensive, academically rigorous Preschool/Pre-K and K-12 education.
At Northside, we believe that education transforms both the mind and the heart of a child and that, as educators, we need to be intentional with both.
Our teaching goal is two fold:1) to be academically competitive and relevant in our world, and 2) to teach and apply Christian morals and values in every subject, struggle and situation we face teaching that will stay with your child for a lifetime.A Northside education emphasizes critical thinking, social awareness, spiritual acuteness, literary excellence, and scientific thinking, all while promoting imagination and creativity.
Our exceptional academics, small classes, and talented faculty help students become critical thinkers and responsible members of a global community. Northside is a non-denominational school.
