Purpose

We believe it is our mission in ministry to provide the best well-rounded education possible for the children of our community, placing a special emphasis on the spiritual aspect of education

History

In the late 1980’s Northridge Free Will Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Chris Clay saw a need in the Guymon Community for a school with a Bible-based curriculum. The school began as a preschool with just a few students in the fall of 1989.  Currently, NCS offers K-3 through 9th grade.   The school is a non-profit organization.  It is funded totally by tuition, donations, and fundraisers.

Structure

The school is operated by a five-member board including principals.  The principals serve as the administrators and answer directly to the school board.

Spiritual

Because of the removal of public prayer and Bible reading from the public school, we believe there has been a constant drop in the moral integrity and sense of self-worth of our children and society as a whole.  We also believe that the only way to reclaim our children is to give back to them the Bible and public prayer in school.  Therefore, we do place a strong emphasis on spiritual as well as academic training.  The Bible is a core part of our curriculum for all classes.  The children memorize Scripture as well as learn about the teaching and events of the Bible.  NCS is an evangelical ministry; therefore, it is our goal that each child we minister to comes to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  NCS is a ministry to children and families of many denominations.  We remain faithful to the basic doctrines of the Christian faith.

Academics

Though we do place a special emphasis on spiritual character training, we do understand that academic training is very important to your child and his/her future.  Therefore, we offer one of the best well-rounded academic programs anywhere.  Our teachers are all highly trained and qualified in their field. We use A Beka curriculum, which is the premier name in Christian education.

Staff

All of our staff are highly qualified in teaching the A Beka curriculum, are active members of a local church, and have a burden for Christian education and a love for children.  They work for a minimal salary, volunteer much of their time, and consider teaching children a ministry more than an occupation.
