Northlake Christian School

Northlake Christian is a very political, non-Christian school. Northlake claims the Lord is at the center of their school, but by how it is run, that is not true. Northlake will be a good experience for you if you donate money to the institution, if you attend the churches they want you to, and if you are a tattler and snitch, and if you constantly complain and sucker up to the administration. Academics are below any other private school on the Northshore, and no better than any public school in the area. You are paying a very high tuition for an average - at best - private school, that is a complete hoax and lie on their Christian values.

First off I am an alumni but I didn't see that as an option so I just put current student. Anyway, I had a good experience during my 7 years at Northlake, but only because of the small, private school atmosphere and the good friends I had. Teachers were difficult to deal with and acted like bullies because they don't know how to interact with- much less encourage- kids with attention deficit (and probably any learning disabilities but I'm just speaking for myself and my siblings, who had similar experiences) One teacher kicked me off of the praise team because "God told her too." If you don't like me, that's one thing. But don't blame God and bring him into this. Thankfully, I was able to resume leading a praise and worship band in college despite this lady's thinly veiled dislike for me. She did the same thing to several other kids with learning/behavior disorders and continues to do so. I have plenty of other weird stories/anecdotes but honestly the fact this teacher did this not to me, but to some good friends of mine, and continues to do this, really concerns me. Teachers should not be kicking kids out of extracurriculars and telling them God told them to. They absolutely have the authority to vet people who are going to be spiritual leaders in the school, but they should be giving the kids concrete reasons for their decision and perhaps spiritual guidance on how to improve rather than giving them the impression that it's God's fault they can't do what they love. God says that we should use our gifts to His glory. I was able to use my gift in other ways and it didn't shatter my faith or anything, but it was a messed up thing to do and has the potential to keep others from sharing their gift/being as strong in their faith. Anyway, I want to reemphasize that I did have an overall good experience here and I treasure the years I spent, so I am not trying to thoughtlessly rant against the school. This is just something that really concerns me.

Good and I am more closer to god

I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience at NCS! The teachers and staff are top notch. My children LOVE school and that makes us so happy! I can't imagine having my kids anywhere else!

A school where the teachers and administration love children.
