Jesus Christ is preeminent in all we do. From kindergarten through 12th grade, students learn to walk with Him, think biblically, and live in a way that honors Christ.
Faith formation isn't confined to chapel services or dedicated Bible classes. It's woven into math lessons and science labs, literature discussions and history projects. Students view the world through the lens of Scripture, wrestle with hard questions, and discover what it means to follow Jesus in every area of life.
"NICS has been an answer to my prayers! This school has been faithful to honor God and equip my four children to stand on God's Truth. The love, warmth and dedication of every staff member is evident on a daily basis. This is so much more than a school. It's a community of believers who love like Jesus and seek to lead the next generation to glorify Him."
— Cherie Finney, NICS parent since 2015
Secondary students meet weekly in small discipleship groups led by adult mentors and staff members. These are spaces where students encourage one another, share their struggles, pray together, and grow in their walk with Christ.
Students at NICS practice following Jesus in community with teachers and peers who are walking the same path. Discipleship at NICS looks like…
NICS also has a “Buddy Program” that pairs high school students with first graders. Once a week, older students meet with their buddies to build relationships, mentor them, and model what it looks like to love others well. High schoolers learn to serve and lead. Elementary students learn what it means to be part of a community that cares.
Every student takes Bible class throughout their years at NICS. Elementary students build a foundation in Old and New Testament stories, learning who God is and how He works in the world. Secondary students go deeper—studying theology, wrestling with apologetics, and learning to defend their faith.
Once a week, the entire school gathers for chapel. Students worship together, hear teaching from guest speakers and staff, and learn what it looks like to live as part of the body of Christ. Chapel is a community gathering where students encounter God and encourage one another in their faith.
Without a biblical lens, we’re all prone to absorb whatever worldview culture hands us. That’s why developing a biblical worldview is crucial, especially for students.
NICS partners with parents to help kids see the world the way God does. All of our teachers have been trained to integrate biblical truth into their teaching. They help students see how God's truth shapes the way we understand math, literature, science, and everything else.
Students learn to ask: What does God say about this? How does Scripture inform my understanding? What does it look like to honor Christ in this area of life? They graduate with not only knowledge, but with the ability to think and live biblically in a world that doesn't.
"After homeschooling for 5 years, my mama heart was IMMEDIATELY at peace. This school teaches biblical truth while instilling a desire to know Jesus and have a relationship with Him."

Elementary students participate in service projects such as canned food drives and Feed the Need. High school students serve at the school's student-run coffee bar, NICS BevCo., gaining real-world experience in hospitality and service.
Seniors take a mission trip as part of their final year at NICS. This trip offers students the opportunity to put their faith into practice, and they return with a broader perspective on what it means to serve Jesus beyond North Idaho. These experiences shape character, build compassion, and help students see themselves as part of God's larger work.
If you're looking for a school where growing in Christ is central, we invite you to consider North Idaho Christian School. Here, your child can put down deep roots and graduate equipped to walk worthy of the Lord.
Students of North Idaho Christian School are equipped to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord.
