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.

Pretty nice. I wish there was less busywork towards the end of senior year and more classes that prepare us for real life

I started going to Tree of Life my freshman year and it was a weird but interesting transition from a public school to a Christian school. COVID hit that year and it was difficult to learn and still be in school but, I could tell the teachers were doing their best to help us learn during all of it. I met a lot of great people at that school and became a stronger Christian because of them. It was a great school overall and everyone was super nice and it made it easy to enjoy going to school.

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!
