School Reviews
| 5 We couldn't be happier with this school! We have had an amazing experience here and our son absolutely LOVES going to school each day! His teachers are so genuine and loving and it truly shows in their interactions with the students! I also love that the teachers care about building relationships with the family as well. If I could give North creek 10 stars, I would! - Posted by Parent - Preschool Mom |
| 5 We currently have three children enrolled in NCAP. Having a faith-based education for our children is important to us. After visiting nearly every local private school, a few things impressed us about NorthCreek and led us to choose NCAP for our children's education. First, the Principal has a clear vision for the school. Strong leadership is critical and we are confident that Principal Steele is attentive, sensitive, and wise. Second, we like the smaller class sizes and a plethora of electives in junior high. It warms our hearts to see our children build trusting relationships with their teachers knowing they have their attention and support through any unique obstacle. NCAP offers enough programs to fascinate every kind of child be it through sports, music, debate, or performing. We are also particularly impressed with NCAP's objective to raise confident communicators. Speaking in front of the class starts in Kindergarten and is a skill set that is becoming rare in this digital age. When you factor in reasonable tuition, it was an easy decision to send our children to NorthCreek Academy- one that has been confirmed over and over given the excitement our children feel about going to school. - Posted by Parent - Amy |
| 5 Northcreek Academy is a wonderful school that truly cares about students and their families!We have two children here, and we are thrilled with the teachers and staff. Our children are not only receiving an excellent academic education, they are learning what it means to love God and serve others. They have grown in every aspect.We highly recommend it! - Posted by Parent - Cosmina Anca |
| 5 The teachers are excellent and facilities are top notch. The small class size creates a positive environment for my little girl to learn and ask questions. I have also been impressed with Christian education that she has received and I have seen growth in her on so many levels of her life. All around great experience - Posted by Parent - Matt |
| 5 We love the warm feeling of the staff and parent community at NorthCreek and could not be happier. The school offers growth for our kids in more than just academics. It emphasizes a love of learning, faith and character building as part of their Classical Education approach. Highly recommend :) - Posted by Parent - Sara Olson |
