Overview
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.
With more than 30 churches represented from around the Twin Cities and the world, Northside offers a Biblically-based, Christ-centered education. Located in Blaine, Minnesota, Northside has a beautiful campus with over 20 wooded acres.
Yet the truly exceptional part of this campus is found in the hearts of the people who choose to be here.
These people will become your family, and the school your second home.You won`t regret choosing Northside! For over 40 years, Northside students have been making memories.
