A true brotherhood is built throughout the years. Great families, values, and formation in the Catholic faith is what you get when you go to Northridge. My father went there, my four older brothers, and myself attended This school.

The cohesive relationship between the administrators, teachers and parents. A real community feeling where people of diverse cultural and religious backgrounds work together in mutual love and respect for the greater good of all.

12/2/2019

Honestly a great place to be. Teachers are always looking to support you and are truly interested in how you are doing. The basketball games are a lot of fun. Very easy to get involved and to even start your own club or program. Students are all very smart and care for one another by attending each others events and so on. Very happy I was able to attend here.

My son has been attending Northridge for a year---he's finishing up 6th grade. It was a financial sacrifice for us to send him here, since we don't have a lot of expendable income, but this was possibly the best decision we've ever made. He was miserable in the public school, going down a bad path,...

This school does not teach Christian values and principles as advertised. Do not waste your money. There are plenty of better options.

During the pandemic, I watched my child completely isolate. I saw children in the public education system start to turn on each other, simply for voicing their own thoughts and opinions. I heard about Northridge through friends of my sister, whose children went to Willows. From my very first phone c...

It was one of our best decisions we made during pandemic to transfer our son to Northridge Prep. From the Principal to teachers and all the staff members, we feel that our son will be well educated and taken care of. Our son has become more independent, responsible and respectful. All the teachers a...
