We are pleased to announce that North Christian School is officially opening a Middle School starting in August 2024! We will begin this process by opening a 6th grade class in 2024-2025, and then open an additional grade level every consecutive year following. This means 6th grade will open 2024-2025 in the school year, 7th grade will open in the 2025-2026 school year, and 8th grade will open in the 2026-2027 school year. We have listed some Q&A’s below.
