Northside Methodist Academy Revenue and Competitors

Northside Methodist Academy opened in the fall of 1975 with grades 1-6 as a ministry of Northside Methodist Church which was founded in 1973. Kindergarten for three, four, and five year olds and grades 7-12 were added later. NMA operates as a non-profit organization. Some people ask, "Why a Christian school? What's the difference if my child studies arithmetic, history, or literature in a public school or a Christian school?" Christian school education is a "back to God movement," placing Christ at the center of the school's curriculum. While the public schools of the country may struggle back to "academic basics," they have no moral foundation to lead students into "spiritual basics." There is much more to the purpose of a child's education than cold academics. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "To educate a child in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society." We want our children to learn, from their earliest years, that all of life belongs to God and was made for Him.
