NCS History

In 1980, as the Christian School movement accelerated, a group of concerned parents approached Northwest Church with a vision to begin a school that would:

• demand excellence in academics
• integrate Christian truth into the curriculum
• complement the values parents desired in their homes.

That vision has grown from a handful of students and teachers to the largest Christian school in Arizona.  Nearly fourteen hundred students attend from pre-school through 12th grade.  Excellence in academics is recognized by the fact that NCS is accredited by the North Central Association (NCA) as well as the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Biblical integration remains the number one priority led by the committed Christ honoring faculty.  Along with the experienced Bible Department, teachers integrate the truths of Jesus Christ into their lessons.

Through the years, the students' foundation of truth has expanded as parents appreciate NCS's extension to their values at home.  Testimonies abound of the family atmosphere and caring environment Northwest possesses, and the development it has meant in hundreds of graduates.

The future is only as bright as the past is strong.  God has blessed the faithfulness of the pioneers and His hand will remain as long as we continue to be faithful to His Word.
