When the Public School Isn’t Enough
Why More Families Are Choosing Homeschool and Hybrid Options at Northpoint
More and more parents are starting to ask tough but necessary questions:
What exactly are my kids learning at school?
Why do I feel so disconnected from their education?
Why do we have so little time together as a family?
And most importantly—where is God in all of this?
If these questions have crossed your mind, you’re not alone—and you’re not wrong for asking them. The world is changing quickly, and many Christian parents are feeling the strain of trying to raise their children in a culture that doesn’t reflect their values. The good news is this: you do have options. Homeschooling or hybrid homeschooling through a Christ-centered community like Northpoint Christian Academy can help you reclaim your child’s education, their time, and their heart.
The Public School Dilemma
For decades, public schools were the default choice. They promised a free education, extracurriculars, and a broad peer network. But in recent years, a growing number of families have become disillusioned—not necessarily because of the teachers, but because of the system itself.
Here’s what we’re hearing from parents:
“My kids come home exhausted and emotionally drained.”
“They’re being exposed to topics I’m not ready for them to hear about.”
“I feel like I don’t even know what they’re learning anymore.”
“We barely have time together. We’re constantly rushing from school to homework to bedtime.”
“I want to raise them with Biblical values, but school is teaching something totally different.”
If this resonates with you, know that you’re not crazy or overreacting—you’re paying attention. And that’s something to celebrate.
The Homeschool and Hybrid Alternative
At Northpoint Christian Academy, we offer an educational model that honors God, equips parents, and helps children flourish—not just academically, but spiritually and emotionally too. Through our hybrid homeschool approach, students attend classes on-campus three days a week and learn from home the other two days. This rhythm gives families the structure of a traditional school with the freedom, flexibility, and faith foundation of homeschooling.
Here’s why more families are making the switch:
1. You Regain Control Over What’s Taught
In homeschooling or hybrid homeschooling, you get to choose curriculum that aligns with your Christian worldview. That means your kids will be taught subjects like science, history, and literature through the lens of Scripture—not through the lens of secular ideology. No more guessing what’s being said in the classroom or fighting to "undo" messages you disagree with at the dinner table.
At Northpoint, every class—from math to language arts—is taught through a Biblical framework. We don't separate God from academics. We infuse Christ into everything, just as Deuteronomy 6:7 commands: “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way...”
2. You Get More Time with Your Kids
Time is precious—and sadly, in traditional schooling, it's also limited. Long days, homework, after-school activities, and screen time eat up the hours, leaving little room for meaningful connection.
In contrast, hybrid homeschooling allows you to slow down and reclaim those moments. Family meals, morning devotionals, nature walks, unhurried conversations—all of this becomes possible again. You don’t have to sacrifice your relationship with your child to give them a great education. At Northpoint, you can have both.
3. You Build a Faith-First Foundation
The most important thing you will ever teach your child isn’t algebra or how to write a five-paragraph essay—it’s who they are in Christ.
Northpoint’s hybrid model is intentionally designed to integrate Biblical values throughout the week. Whether your child is on campus or learning at home, they’re immersed in a culture that prioritizes discipleship, prayer, character, and truth.
This isn’t just about pulling your kids out of something negative—it’s about putting them into something deeply good.
4. You Join a Supportive Community
Many parents hesitate to homeschool because they think they’ll be doing it alone. At Northpoint, nothing could be further from the truth.
Our families form a vibrant, supportive network of like-minded believers who encourage one another in the journey. From co-ops and class days to parent workshops, chapel, field trips, and prayer groups—you’ll have a tribe of people walking with you, not judging or comparing, but building each other up in Christ.
5. You Prepare Your Child for Real Life
Hybrid homeschool students don’t just learn facts—they learn responsibility. With part-time at-home learning, they gain independence, time management, and ownership over their work. This “college-style” model equips them with the tools they’ll need not just for higher education, but for a healthy, balanced life.
Even better? They do it without sacrificing their faith or feeling pressured to hide who they are as Christians.
Making the Transition: How to Begin
If your heart is stirring, if you’re longing for a change but feeling overwhelmed by where to start—take a deep breath. You don’t have to figure it all out today. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Here are a few simple steps to begin exploring the homeschool or hybrid path:
Pray. Ask God for clarity, peace, and wisdom. He’s already guiding you.
Talk to Other Parents. Reach out to families who’ve made the transition and hear their stories.
Schedule a Tour with Northpoint. Come visit us, sit in a class, and ask your questions. See what hybrid homeschooling can really look like.
Take One Step at a Time. Maybe that means starting with a few online resources, or trying out one semester. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just take the next faithful step.
Final Encouragement
At Northpoint Christian Academy, we believe education is about more than academics. It’s about shaping the heart, mind, and soul of a child to love God, know truth, and serve others.
You may be questioning what’s happening in your child’s public school—and that’s okay. You may feel a growing ache for more time with your family—and that’s holy. You may feel convicted to raise your children in a stronger Biblical environment—and that’s courageous.
And you don’t have to wait any longer. The journey toward Christ-centered education can begin today.
Let us walk it with you.
