Academics at Northside Christian School

Characterized by college preparatory curricula, Northside has the ministry of equipping students with the necessary skills and content to help him/her realize their full God-given potential.  The high academic expectations for the child set in a Christian environment enhance student learning.

In a society of constant change the curriculum and programs are designed to meet the changing needs of students. Programs such as the “Young Scholars” program at the elementary and the “Distinguished Scholars” program at the high school enable NCS to meet the unique needs of the academically talented. The K.A.R.A.T. program at the high school level is intended to give students with kinesthetic learning styles an environment in which to be successful. 

Northside Christian School graduates have been accepted at state universities, private colleges and universities and military academies across the country. Our Academic Goals:

• to provide a Christian education that strives for academic excellence, which will enable all to proceed to a level of higher learning or training to which they may aspire and of which they are capable,
• to inspire youth with a love for learning,
• to teach the basic foundations in language arts, foreign language, social sciences, mathematics, science, and the practical and fine arts,

Designed with three specific academic tracks, all Northside graduates are prepared to succeed at the collegiate level. The academic programs offered in the high school include dual credit, honors and advanced placement courses. With flexibility in scheduling, students can take the most challenging track in a particular subject matter while staying on grade level for others.

All courses emphasize skills in analysis, synthesis and evaluation of information. Combining a broad liberal arts curriculum with electives in art, athletics, communication and community services, students are given the chance to enrich their education and develop the whole person.
