Tree of Life Christian Schools' Northridge Road Campus is a private middle and high school located near the northwest corner of Columbus’ North Linden neighborhood.
Tree of Life Christian Schools were established in 1978 by members from three Columbus churches and chartered by the Ohio Department of Education in 1979. Today, the Northridge Road Campus is the natural choice for students who attended one of the three Tree of Life elementary campuses around the city.
Tree of Life Christian School creates a Christ-centered, student-focused community for grades six through 12. Its primary objectives include advancing knowledge, cultivating wisdom and developing resiliency in students as they explore personal growth through their Christian faith.
Tree of Life Christian School is ideal for students and parents who seek a more solid partnership between their education and Christianity. The school encourages its students to think biblically, love passionately and serve generously.
The school maintains the standards outlined by the state for chartered non-public schools, demonstrating its commitment to excellence through its accreditation by the Association of Christian Schools International and AdvancED.
Student-athletes have opportunities to compete in the Mid-Ohio Christian Athletic League and Ohio High School Athletics Association on various Tree of Life Trojans sports teams.
The school is independent of any specific church and instead actively partners with local congregations to welcome families from over 110 different churches.

Tree has really good academics. The teachers care about the students and try to make sure everyone succeeds. The sports program isn't that good and is pretty small. The new middle school campus is very nice and the high school is getting redone. I think overall the academic program is great while the sports program could be better.

Going to tree of life had its ups and downs. The classes helped prepare me for college level classes, however the administration looks down upon you bases on your socioeconomic status.

My daughter's 12th grade year was trauma-inducing. She was judged, condemned, and criticized by teachers, students, coaches, and administrators because her parents believed a little differently than the TOL model. This should have been one of the highlights of her life, but instead, they made her life miserable. I have written to them about these experiences, but received no response.

My children attended Tree of Life from grades 6-12. They were well prepared for college. they both commented that college was easier than TOL. This school has been such a blessing to our family.

We have a second grader and two kindergarten students at Tree of Life and we couldn't be happier. All of the Tree of Life staff from the teachers on down, love and care about our students. We feel such a family atmosphere here and we LOVE it!
