I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about North Heights Christian Academy. My daughter is taught in Christ's love, and is surrounded by an environment where she is prayed for, loved, and known by name. The academic quality is very good. The principal and teachers are amazing!

North Heights Christian Academy supports parents in the shaping of their child's God-given gifts and character qualities in the context of the school day. As my children participated in the visual and music arts program, computer and PE classes and extracurricular sports offerings, and special events like the Speech Meet, Spelling Bee, Math Olympics, they found their talents and, with modeling, a Godly attitude. The staff is committed to being their best for Christ, and that shows in the classroom and in the quality teaching. They love the Lord and it is contagious!
