Mid-Ohio Valley, both from West Virginia and Ohio.

I don't want my child to miss all the extracurricular opportunities by being in a Christian school. Aren't you limited in what you offer?

The staff and parents of North Christian School work together to provide our students the opportunity to participate in most of the county-wide school extracurricular activities including:  Speech Meet, Wood County Science and Social Studies Fairs, State Science and Social Studies Fairs, Wood County Math Field Day, Wood County Spelling Bee, gifted services through TREK and SAIL, Wood County Boys' and Girls’ Basketball, and Wood County Track.
Students have the opportunity to participate in after-school clubs such as Cooking, Healthy Fitness, Recycling, Drama, Lego. Each year clubs change depending on the volunteers we get to run the programs. Through the sponsorship of North Parkersburg Baptist Church, our students are also included in all special programs being hosted by the church.
