TESTIMONIALS

“The teachers at NICS were all helpful and kind whether it was taking the time to help me with things that I did not understand or making me feel welcome. NICS was like a family to me, and I loved everyday how we would learn from a Christian world view and have chapel every Friday. The school helped me to grow in my faith, learn more about God, and helped me apply it to my daily life after I graduated from NICS in 2016.”

"My time at NICS encouraged a good working ethic, responsible time management, and independent study. I also appreciated the small class sizes as it allowed the teachers to give students more attention and encouraged healthy relationships between the teachers and students."

“My name is Aimee Wheatcraft and I graduated from NICS in 2018. North Iowa Christian School made such an amazing impact on my life. Growing up, I was raised in a Christian home. Even though starting at NICS in 6th grade was scary for me, little did I know it was the best decision my parents made with my schooling. Being a part of NICS kept me on track in my faith. The teachers were always ready to answer any question I had. NICS was also great Christian based learning that prepared for the challenges of college.”

“My high school experience at North Iowa Christian School prepared me best by giving me leadership opportunities that taught me about myself and the world around me. The school helps the students to really invest and make the most of the resources they have available.”

“Hi, I’m Megan Dahlin, a 2020 graduate of North Iowa Christian School. I began my journey with NICS when I was in the third grade. I’d be lying if I said everything came easy to me. I was a homeschooler before I joined NICS and I hadn’t had much experience with making friends. It took a long time for me to get my footing and during that time I had trouble with making friends, but I learned how to reach out to others instead of waiting for someone to reach out to me. Being at NICS challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. I learned how to handle connecting with people and how to build new friendships.”

"Attending NICS has been huge in shaping the person I am today. I didn't just learn facts about God; I learned practical ways to nourish my relationship with Him and live out Christ's plan for my life. The kids at NICS have become some of my closest friends and I still keep in contact with several of the teachers."

"The best part of NICS for me was being able to play on the basketball team. Basketball is one of the main reasons I came to NICS, and getting to play in every game with my friends was fantastic. I also enjoyed the family type of environment the school has; everyone knows everyone and all are able to interact with each other. The teachers encouraged the family atmosphere, but also pushed us to keep trying and were willing to help us succeed."

"When I was at NICS I was able to enjoy one-on-one instruction and attention from teachers and staff. I had a teacher that pushed me and challenged me in my learning! The way she taught made me want to come to class and really learn. I learned something new every time she taught. To this day, I am grateful for how she guided me in my schooling."

“North Iowa Christian School helped provide me with a strong biblical knowledge and foundation beginning at an early age, which has helped shape my understanding of the Bible today and my worldview. I am grateful for the teachers who took time to not only teach course material, but positive values and attitudes as well. I have carried these lessons with me into the interactions and situations I’ve faced after my time at North Iowa Christian School, and I believe that these lessons have given me a broader and more balanced perspective than what I might have received in a different educational setting. The education I received at North Iowa Christian School and the experiences I had there built character and instilled values in me that have helped shape me into who I am today.”

"NICS helped prepare me for the real world by laying the foundations in my Christian faith upon which everything else would be built. In every single aspect of life, NICS taught me the importance of putting God first. By persevering in this, we will find success in everything else through Him.”

NICS helped to develop not only how to function as a whole, but to be respected as an individual, teaching me with grace and mercy, and allowing me to finish my high school career with flying colors, deep friendships I still hold dear to this day, and a deep love and desire to honor the Lord in everything I do, say, and think.

If I could have changed anything, it would be that I had attended NICS much sooner, but the Lord, who works all things for His good, delivered me to NICS when He had, and I am forever grateful. If you are considering having your child attend, I highly recommend. Take that step of faith today. Knowledge, integrity, and a love for people exist, and is carefully stewarded within this school.
