Value & Investment
Christian education is one of the best investments parents can make for their children. Building into the spiritual life and academic success of your child is an eternal investment. We, as a school, strive to partner with parents and churches to raise up children who love the Lord and are equipped to best serve in the world God places them in now and once they graduate from our school. We work hard to offer Christian education at a value attainable for families seeking to enroll. We have also put together opportunities, listed below, for families to save additional money on the overall cost of tuition.

Multi-Student Discount
NorthPointe Christian Schools makes available a reduced tuition rate to families needing financial help who have more than one student enrolled. This assistance for multiple students is intended to be a form of financial aid.

Families not taking the assisted rate will be issued a gift receipt for the difference between the two rates.

T.R.I.P. - Tuition Reduction Incentive Program
The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (TRIP) at NorthPointe Christian is an easy way to reduce your tuition costs. Families who use TRIP can potentially save hundreds of dollars on their tuition bill. You simply enroll in TRIP, order gift certificates from many local and national restaurants and businesses at face value, and receive a percentage of the purchase as a credit toward your TRIP account. The percentages vary depending on the business from 2% to 20%. Your TRIP credit is applied to your account twice a year. There is absolutely no extra cost to you. Instant TRIP is available in the Elementary and High School offices, and orders can be made online. Please click here to be directed to our TRIP home page.
