Thank you for re-enrolling! For the third year in a row our

school retention rate is over 90%

965 of our 1026 students in grades PK-11th grade saved their spots to return to NCS in 2024-2025! This gives us a retention rate of 94% for the second year in a row as we had a 94% rate in 2023-2024 as well. Our retention rate for 2022-2023 was 91%. We are overwhelmed with gratitude to our NCS families as this retention reflects the satisfaction our families have with the quality of education provided by our faculty and staff. We thank YOU for the support you have in our school and look forward to serving you again next year.

Priority re-enrollment for existing families ended on next Monday, January 8, 2024. Our existing families had priority to enroll first for next year and now we will begin admitting new students to the available spots not secured by our existing students.

Our Inclement Weather Policy:

In assessing the opening or closing of school during inclement weather (snow, ice, tornado threat) the ultimate priority is the safety of our students, staff, and families. Therefore, Northpoint Christian School will exercise caution in the decisions made.

Though we make our determination independent of other school systems, we do confer with Desoto County schools and weigh heavily their decision.

In decisions on whether the school will open, we seek to make our announcement promptly, when possible, by 5 am.

When making our decision we evaluate the status of local roads, as well as, that of our parking lot and campus. We also make our determination based on current and forecasted conditions.

How do we notify our families of weather-related closings?

We will notify our families through text message, email, and social media postings on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, and will also have closing announcements posted on local television media outlets. (WREG, WMC5, ABC and Fox13.) We ask that you not call the school before checking each of these sources of communication. 

Should inclement weather cause the school to be dismissed during the school day, the same procedures for notification would be utilized. Again, we ask that you not call the school unless it is an emergency as we need to keep the phone lines accessible.

Northpoint Christian School does include at least one "snow day" in our school calendar. Any days beyond those built into the schedule will have to be made up. Northpoint Christian School serves a vast area. Therefore, in the event of a school opening during inclement weather, parents should always use their judgment based on their family circumstances.

PLEASE OPT INTO OUR TEXTING PROGRAM IF YOU AREN'T ALREADY.  Make sure you sign up to receive text messages by texting "NCSTROJANS" to 1-844-230-7878! That is the quickest way to find out about closings and other important information we feel parents need to know.
