My kids have been educated in 2 different states and 6 different schools (3 Forest Hills Northern schools), and I have been most pleased with Collins. The teachers are outstanding; they are truly engaged with the students' needs and make learning fun. The school is proactive in providing social-emot

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have loved every bit of ACS the last 3 years we have been there. We made the move from a local public school and it has been night and day difference. Our children are seen, heard and cared for they aren't just a number or a test score. Every staff member at ACS cares for each child as a whole person. They care about their individual needs and how to help families raise educated, respectful, well-rounded, productive members of society.Parent Review1y ago - NorthPointe Christian Middle/ High School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Student Review1y ago - NorthPointe Christian Elementary/ Pre-School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNPC is a wonderful school! I know that my children are receiving a solid, Christ-centered education! We had prior experience at a local large public school, but my oldest child was getting "lost", but not "lost" enough for assistance. We made the switch to NPC after just 1 visit to the school! Come take a tour of our school and you will see why!Other Review9y ago - Ada Christian School
