My daughter has attended NHCS since 5-K, she is now a freshman in NHCS High school. I am more impressed than ever with the committment of their administration and faculty to see our students reach their full potential. The Christ centered education is preparing our young people with a global perspective of our world and how they can make a difference in it. With a record enrollment this year (2011) over 400 students , they haven't lost the desire to excell. This year they introduced the PC tablets in their High School and are striving to have cutting edge technology. Their athletic programs are excelling also and next year they will play in a new tougher conference which will challenge them to new heights. I would highly recommend North Hills to any parent concerned with quality education and character building challenges.

North Hills has excellent academics and a family atmosphere. Head of school leads the school very well. I was looking for strong academic preschool, but found a great school for my kids longterm. Faculty & staff are great. This school is a true blessing!

This school continues to excel in academics, and the environment is Christ centered. Having two children who attended this school and went on to higher education at public universities, I can speak to the most vital element of North Hills Christian School: and that is simply, a Biblical World View throughout all the curriculum. There is nothing else even close to it.

Community ratings and reviews do not represent the views of GreatSchools nor does GreatSchools check their accuracy or verify the reviewers' identities. Use your discretion when evaluating these reviews.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
