CHALLENGING MINDS:
We blend faith into our everyday teaching while offering hands-on learning experiences and a strong curriculum that challenges and supports our students. Teachers guide students through subjects like math, history, science, language, and music, all from a Christian perspective. Bible study, prayer, and building a personal relationship with Jesus Christ are major focuses.
​
Parents value the high standards in academics and curriculum set by the school board, administration, teachers, and support committees. The school is accredited by Christian Schools International and the North Central Association. All teachers at NMCS are state-certified, with many having advanced degrees and special qualifications.
There are also special education programs and diagnostic assessments for students with learning disabilities or those needing extra help. High school students can also take skilled trade classes through the Wexford/Missaukee Career Technical Center.
NURTURING HEARTS:
Every student is seen as a special child of God. We are grateful to provide weekly chapel services, opportunities for community service, spiritual retreats, and mentorship programs that support our students throughout their growth. Each student will be recognized and cared for personally.
​
With small class sizes, teachers can offer focused attention to every student. The school values strong involvement from parents and encourages open communication. Parents can engage in their child's education by attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering in various ways, and reaching out to teachers when help is needed.
DEVELOPING GIFTS:
The athletic program at Northern Michigan Christian School is an important part of the overall school experience. As a member of the Highland Conference, this program helps students grow in a way that honors God, both on and off the court or field. Sports provide a chance for student athletes to develop their faith and God-given talents in environments where Jesus Christ is at the center. These athletes are encouraged to make a positive impact in the world for Christ by striving for excellence in every area of their lives. Being on a team fosters a sense of community and offers a mission that goes beyond just individual achievement.
​
In addition to athletics, students can join our Fine Arts program, which includes band, choir, and our yearly musical or play. While at NMCS, they can also explore various electives and activities like Spanish, art, digital publications, physical education, and service projects.
We believe that every student is a unique and blessed child of God. At NMCS, our goal is to nurture not just academic skills but also spiritual, emotional, and social development.
Northern Michigan Christian School was founded more than 100 years ago by a dedicated group of parents who wanted to create a unique Christian learning environment for their children. Since opening in 1911, we have expanded our programs significantly. We are dedicated to teaching Biblical truths in a world that is constantly changing. Our educational and extra-curricular activities provide a strong Christ-centered experience for students from preschool through high school.
