If you’re considering a private, Christian education in the United States, put Charlotte, North Carolina’s Northside Christian Academy at the top of your list. Here are a few reasons why:
A strong foundation to build on
Founded in 1961, Northside Christian Academy is not new to the world of private, Christian education. In fact, we’re one of the oldest and most respected Christian high schools in America.
A world-class campus
Over the past decades, we’ve built a classic 155-acre college style campus complete with state of the art facilities. At Northside, you’ll recognize our commitment to academic excellence as soon as you set foot on campus. Located in the heart of Charlotte, N.C., rich cultural opportunities are available for students of all backgrounds and traditions.
A home away from home
Our international students thrive living with a host family. Host families are committed to their student’s success and offer ongoing support. We’ve found that this system is much more effective than traditional, yet impersonal dorm living.
Unparalleled opportunities
Student life at Northside is enhanced with extracurricular opportunities for students of all ages. We encourage our international students to seek leadership roles and join extracurricular activities. Whether you’re passionate about music, sports, theater or missions, NCA has something for you.
A commitment to college-ready graduates
High school students have the opportunity to take honors and Advanced Placement classes in subjects like calculus, biology, history and literature. We ensure that every student is prepared to succeed in their next step. In turn, more than 95 percent of our students are accepted into the college of their choice.
