A School Environment Where Students Feel Known, Supported, and Connected
Smaller class sizes, flexible schedules, and meaningful relationships can make a big difference for students who feel overwhelmed and unseen in traditional school environments. At Northpoint Christian Academy, students are seen for the child and student God intends them to be.
Not every family feels that a traditional school environment is the best fit for their child. Many students thrive in smaller, more personal learning environments that prioritize relationships, flexibility, and individualized support over constant testing and one-size-fits-all education.
Northpoint believes families should have educational options that align with their values and the unique needs of their children. As one of the only independently funded Christian and hybrid schools in the area, Northpoint remains free to provide Christ-centered education rooted in Biblical truth, strong parent partnership, and educational flexibility without state oversight tied to voucher funding.

Thank You for Learning More About Us
Emily Cochran is the Executive Director at Northpoint Christian Academy. Her mother, Kathy Badger, founded the school with the desire to find an educational model that balanced the freedom and flexibility of homeschooling with the structure and education of private school. Motivated by her desire to provide a Christ-centered education, Kathy pioneered a new approach to Christian learning that would soon benefit other families as well.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Northpoint Homeschool Academy is a resource for homeschool families and is not accredited. Parents are responsible for keeping and maintaining their student's transcripts. Our Director of Academics hosts a transcript workshop meeting each year to assist families with record keeping and our online grading system keeps a record of grades for parents.
-
On the at-home days, we ask for at least one parent or guardian to commit to being present to homeschool their student(s). In the primary grade levels, the parent or guardian at home will co-teach with the instructor at Northpoint, covering the lessons designated for the at-home days. As each student progresses through the grade levels, your role at home shifts to one of a facilitator. You will eventually oversee the completion of your student(s) work, and the classroom instructor will take over the actual instruction. Our purpose in this is two-fold. First, it starts training your student to be an independent worker who takes responsibility for the tasks before him or her. Second, it frees you from having to relearn Pre-Calculus or Anatomy and Physiology in order to teach upper-level subjects effectively.
-
Students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade will have a Bible curriculum incorporated into their day with lessons to complete at home with parents. 4th-6th grade students have multiple Bible classes offered for their elective hours and all 7th-12th grade students attend an Equip chapel each day with interactive lectures and discussion groups to develop a Biblical worldview.
-
Students are NOT required to have a specific device for in-class days. Our program utilizes textbooks, pens, and paper and e-learning is not a part of our curriculum. We have an online learning management system called Schoology that students and parents will use to track assignments, and grades, take some tests, and message teachers. Your student will need access to a device to complete assignments, write papers, and do research, but we do not require a device at school.
-
Northpoint is a ministry of Anchored Ministries, Inc and in an effort to protect our program's freedom and commitment to Biblical teaching, we do not accept any state or federal funding or qualify for School Choice vouchers. Our separation from any state or federal funding means that Northpoint is under no obligation to incorporate CRT, SEL or any other controversial curriculum into our model. We focus on high-quality academics! Families can choose to pay tuition in full or through a monthly billing plan so that tuition can be broken up into 11 monthly payments each year.
Keep in mind that we consider our program to be a five-day-per-week mdel with two-three in-class days and two-three at-home days. This makes our tuition very affordable compared to the pricing of traditional private schools.
We are working to add a financial assistance program through the generosity of families and donors who are supporting our mission to educate, equip and empower students. Tax-deductible donations can also be made by family members or friends and directed toward a specific student. Families who assist with fundraising or securing corporate partners can also receive a tuition credit.
-
While under certain circumstances, Northpoint can be a good fit for students with learning challenges, we are not equipped or specifically trained in this area. Students must be able to conduct themselves in the classroom without being a disruption and must also be able to complete the work outlined in each course description.
-
Students must be able to conduct themselves in the classroom without being a disruption and must also be able to complete the work outlined in each course. For example, many classes require presentations in front of the teacher and peers as part of the class grade. If the student is unable to complete the assignment, he or she will be unable to earn points for that presentation.
-
Northpoint’s attendance policy is outlined in the student handbook. Exceptions to the attendance policy (a maximum of four (4) days per semester) can be requested through the administration. Upon administrative approval, a written plan will be put in place by the teacher(s) outlining expectations for the completion of all missed work.

At Northpoint Christian Academy, athletics is more than just competition—it’s a calling. Panthers Athletics is grounded in our mission to educate, equip, and empower student-athletes to pursue excellence on and off the field. Through every practice, game, and season, we aim to cultivate academic diligence, Biblical truth, and a deep understanding of God’s purpose in the lives of our students.
We believe sports are a powerful tool to teach discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and faith. Our coaches prioritize character development and spiritual growth just as much as athletic performance, creating an environment where students can thrive in every area of life.
Sports We Offer:
Girls & Boys Volleyball
Girls & Boys Basketball
Cheerleading
Archery
Most of our sports programs are available for students in 3rd grade through 12th grade, giving young athletes the opportunity to grow and develop over time. Whether your child is stepping onto the court for the first time or preparing for varsity-level competition, they’ll be part of a Christ-centered community that encourages them to play with passion, purpose, and integrity.
At Northpoint, we compete to honor God, build each other up, and pursue greatness for His glory. Go Panthers!
