I have been going here since I was 2 years old and I have really enjoyed my experience. I think that all of my teachers are always really supporting and patient with everyone and try to have fun lesson plans. Sr. Kaboos is the best Spanish teacher ever! They have lots of special programs and clubs for everybody. All the teachers encourage us to strive to be more like Jesus and learn to walk with him. I strongly recommend coming to one of NorthPointe's shadow days to check it out.

The overall environment of this school is toxic at best. The “what we believe” on the school website shows itself in the community and promotes certain ideas that can harm the mental health of students who may not be able to conform to the schools beliefs. Very conservative school, I recommend really weighing your options before settling on this school.

It is the best school I have ever been to. The students care about each other and they are good at sports.

On Nov. 24, 2014, Northpointe's Superintendent sent out an email to parents encouraging them to "leave positive reviews" on this site. Is that ethical? Whether you say "yes" or "no" to that question, you have a right to know this as you read these reviews. We are at Northpointe, but we have reservations. If you are considering sending your kids here, you should know that Northpointe is a very, very conservative school community. If you / your family do not fit that description, your welcome might remain tepid. Our process in coming here was prayerful, and we remain in prayer about it as our reservations accumulate. It hasn't been the wonderful place we had hoped it would be.

Our family has been very happy since we have transferred to Northpointe. The teachers, staff, and kids foster a truly Christian spirit of love and inclusiveness that we had not experienced before in another Christian school. The kindness of the teachers and inclusiveness of the kids is the greatest treasure of Northpointe, but we have also found the academics to be exceptional as well.

My child attends NorthPointe Christian Elementary and she could not be more pleased with her teachers, staff and friends. She is excited about coming to school and the staff at NorthPointe encourage this sentiment and keep the momentum going. As a parent, it is always a pleasure to see this passion for learning at a young age. The school also does a fantastic job of keeping parents informed of upcoming/ongoing events. They have helped facilitate a smooth transition from my child's experience with daycare/preschool to an elementary school environment. I could not ask for a more friendly, welcoming and nurturing institution.

Northpointe is a great school and balances good academics with a passion to see kids grow in their knowledge of God and who He made them to be. I've been impressed with the teachers and their desire to see kids absorb information while they develop into young adults.

We have two children at Northpointe. We have one in pre-school and one in kindergarten. We committed to Northpointe because we see the passion for Jesus. However since becoming involved we are seeing a new passion trend towards Spanish Immersion (in the form of recruiting students and salaries toward Spanish Teachers). Our hope and prayer is that Jesus remains the focus at Northpointe not Spanish Immersion. He is the reason for our commitment.

Northpointe stands out for me because of the tremendous way the staff demonstrates that they care about EVERY student and they care all the time - whether in the classroom or in the hall. The AP class option for older students is a definite plus as well!

NPC has wonderful chapels, a great Moms in Prayer group, and a Christ-centered focus. The staff is exceptional and caring, attending to the heart as well as the head of academics.

We LOVE Northpointe! We have three girls and have sent all three since Pre-school. The administration is amazing, class sizes are small, and the teachers are super hands on and really love the children. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to send our children to such a great school. :)

I cannot imagine having my children attend any other school than NorthPointe! The teachers and staff genuinely care for each and every student and meet their needs right where the students are. My children have never experienced a more welcoming environment than when they transferred to NPC. The students at NorthPointe truly go out of their way to make sure new students feel at home.

Our son attended the public school from kindergarten through 8th grade when he surprised us and said he wanted to go to a Christian high school. After attending a few shadow days at local schools he quickly chose Northpointe telling us that the students he met that day were all friendly and welcoming. He has made many friends in the first few months (not typical) and has been very happy with his decision. As parents we are thrilled to see him thriving, learning in a fast paced Christian environment and we've been surprised to get emails from the school with warnings of questionable social media apps that students can use in inappropriate ways. In all aspects this school has been a boon for our son, academically, socially and for deepening his faith.

I have three children enrolled at NorthPointe Christian: a senior, a junior and a 6th grader. My senior has learning dissabilities, ADD and a hearing impairment. He came to NPC in 8th grade. I cannot begin to tell you what an AMAZING staff this school has! He has struggled, but felt the love and compassion of teachers praying for him:) I cannot say enough good things about Brenda Maas and her staff in the Student Union!!! My 6th grader is adopted from Russia and has similar issues. I feel wonderful knowing she is in a school that will support her and make her feel like she fits in no matter her abilities are.

Excellent academics taught by a seasoned and highly qualified faculty. They teach a Bible based, Christ-centered curriculum. It is as smaller school that is very welcoming, diverse, and has great extra-curricular activities. Incredible music and arts, and tremendous athletics as well!

NPC Middle School has been a great choice for our son! He has developed relationships with his friends and teachers that are helping to shape him into a young man. The school is focused on teaching kids to impact their world for Jesus Christ, and they do this in a way that is so relevant to the kids. The school does an excellent job in the academic areas as well. We know that our child is at or above state level guidelines for his subjects and we are pleased with the structure and pace that he is able to progress. The school offers opportunities for band, orchestra, and many sports at the middle school level also.

Northpointe Christian offers an excellent academic education with a Bibilical worldview focused on missional living. Teachers meet your child at their point of need. There is a resource center for those students who need extra help and independent studies are offered for those who excel. A wide variety of fine art and sports activities are offered so your child can serve the Lord with their unique gifts. Integrity and responsibility are taught early and are expected of each student. Several service opportunities are available throughout the year and these bond and solidify the student body. Most importantly, administration supports and ensures that the family unit is the most important. Your child's education is a partnership between your family, school and your church. We were warmly welcomed and greatly appreciate the individual interest each teacher takes in our children!

I love Northpointe. The spiritual emphasis is an encouragement to parents and students alike. We highly recommend it for all students who want to grow in the Lord.
