The Heart Behind the Campaign
We’re excited to invite you into NorthPointe’s Forward in Faith campaign—a movement rooted in prayer, purpose, and vision for the future. Watch this short video to hear the heart behind the campaign and how, together, we can take bold steps to invest in the next generation.
Our Legacy
Unwavering in our faith.
NorthPointe’s faculty, staff and families are united in educating the whole child — mind, body and soul. Since 1972, we have encouraged our students to grow in faith, pursue excellence, and reach their God-given potential under the care of teachers who know and value each student.
Guided by the belief that every student is created in God’s image, we offer innovative academic programs and enriching athletic, fine arts, and extracurricular opportunities within a Christ-centered community of love, respect, and care.
“The heart of NPC lies in understanding the unique story God is writing in each student’s life, partnering with families to cultivate their child’s relationship with Christ.” – Todd N. Tolsma, Head of Schools
Our Challenge
We’ve grown, but our culture remains the same.
Demand for a NorthPointe Christian education has greatly increased in the last five years. Our Forward in Faith initiatives allow us to offer an enhanced educational experience to these new students God has brought under our care.
Adapting and Improving for the Future.
We recognize the need for:
- Increased investment in teacher compensation.
- A focus on better serving our current students and families.
- Enhanced school facilities to further meet the needs of a larger student body.
Solutions
Our Vision Coming to Life
Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we’ve made meaningful progress toward our campaign priorities. We’ve made important adjustments to our teacher pay scale. We’ve also recently completed our new elementary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) addition, which will enhance hands-on learning, provide flexible instructional space, and accommodate larger group gatherings.
Our next phase includes a middle school renovation and addition that will bring four new classrooms, a commons area, and much-needed renovations to existing classrooms. Relocating the middle school offices to the front of the campus will also create a safer, more secure entrance.
These improvements will benefit students across multiple grade levels. Our additional classroom space will allow 5th grade to move to the Leonard Street campus, relieving space needs at our elementary campus while simultaneously improving our middle school campus.
Campaign Leadership
Meet the dedicated leaders behind our Forward in Faith campaign. Our Campaign Cabinet have prayerfully committed to help carry this vision forward. Their leadership reflects a deep belief in God’s work at NorthPointe and a shared desire to see our school community flourish for generations to come.
