The Finance Committee seeks to balance and monitor income with expenses, both cash flow and budget.  We seek to balance the costs of maintaining and upgrading our facilities, student’s actual education costs, and our teacher’s salaries while striving to maintain an affordable education. 

Our focus is to ensure staff salaries and benefits are as competitive as possible, increase non-tuition sources of income, manage the tuition assistance program, enhance the financial stability of the school, and allow appropriate funding for capital improvements, all in accordance with the strategic vision of Northwest Christian School.

The Education Committee is committed to providing our students with a well-rounded educational experience that brings glory and honor to our Lord, Jesus Christ.  This is accomplished, in part, as we endeavor to protect the integrity of the NCS community, by ensuring that our families, faculty, and staff trust in Jesus Christ, actively participate in a Bible-believing church, and embrace the provisions of the school constitution.

Additionally, we provide support to our teachers and staff in their efforts to bring spiritual and academic growth and encouragement to our students.

Finally, the Education Committee focuses on the oversight and ongoing evaluation of the entire curricular spectrum at Northwest Christian School, through collaborative efforts with our subcommittee, the Curriculum Committee.
