Since you received Christ as
Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and strengthened in the faith,
overflowing with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-

During the spring of 1995, Northshore Christian Church’s leadership
investigated the need for a Christian school in the South Everett area. After
studying the need, the church decided to start an elementary school in the fall
of 1995. Northshore Christian Academy opened with 37 students in grades K through
3. The school was located in the 80th street temporary church location. In the
fall of 1996 the school opened for a second year with almost 100 students in
grades preschool through 4. In the fall of 1997, the third year of school began
with 200 students. The school expanded to another leased warehouse in the fall of
1998.
Northshore Christian Academy has experienced rapid
growth since its inception in 1995. During this time, Northshore
Christian Academy has been one of the fastest growing schools in Snohomish
County. The staff, parents and church have created a strong,
dynamic school – even while housed in temporary facilities and while
experiencing growing pains as the organization re-evaluated and fine-tuned its
mission and long range plan.
In the fall of 2000, over 300
students began school, with seven classrooms housed in our current campus and the
other eleven housed in the 75th street campus warehouse. Also in 2000, the school
focused on the middle school, as it became an established program at NCA, serving
6th – 8th grade students. In 2001, over 375 students enrolled and we have
sustained this enrollment and more every year since.
After 9
years in temporary locations and buildings, our dream for one campus was
realized, as the last of our classrooms moved into our current building in
August, 2003.
Currently, we serve over 740 students in Kindergarten through 8th Grades, plus over 110 students in our licensed Early Learning Center (Pre-Kindergarten, Preschool and Toddlers), with approximately 125 faculty and staff.
