Throughout the year, we will be highlighting each of Northland’s Business Partners. These are local businesses who are investing in a deeper level in Northland’s mission—and in Northland’s students—by financially partnering with the school. In return, our Business Partners are promoted at Northland and in the community. If you own a business and would like more information about becoming a Business Partner, please contact Elizabeth Chavez at echavez@northlandchristian.org.

THINK is excited to partner with Northland to drive exponential enrollment growth and local awareness of the NCS experience.

What is your favorite thing about Northland (as a parent, or Business Partner, or both)? Northland Christian School feels like an extended family, fostering meaningful and long-lasting relationships between teachers, parents and students. Northland has been a blessing to our family by providing our children with a superior education, as well as teaching them respect, encouraging spiritual growth, and the social skills to give them a strong foundation.

If you could describe Northland in one word (or in a few words) what would it/they be? “A Loving Family”

As a Business Partner, how meaningful is it to know that you are making a direct and tangible impact on our students? We feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity to positively impact the education of Northland students.

Why would you encourage other Northland families with businesses to become Business Partners? Becoming a business partner supports the school we love and improves the education and spiritual growth of our children, while simultaneously providing a great advertising platform for your business. Partnerships are vital for effective branding.
