I enjoy attending North River Christian Academy. The teachers always do whatever it takes to prepare us for our future lives. I am very thankful God placed me in this school.

I've been at NRCA for 5 years and it gets worse each year. All my favorite teachers have left. I'm on the football team and we lost every game this season by 50 points or more . My coach makes all of us play hurt even when i don't want too It's not fun at all. i hope i don't stay here to graduate i don't feel like this school os a great option for me.

I'm so thankful to not be employed here anymore. I didn't realize how toxic this school was until I left. Sadly, the men that run this school are the problem, people put them on a pedestal because of their titles and past but they are so toxic and not honoring to God. This school is not a refugee from public school and not a good Christian example in the community.

Our child is learning not only academically but also comes home telling us about what they have learned in Bible Class. The Front Staff, Teachers and Administrators are all very kind and care for your chi...
