Parenting Resources
At Northstar Christian Academy, we believe that educating children is a partnership between our school and parents. Our desire is for every parent to grow in knowledge, wisdom, and the grace of God so they can confidently nurture and lead their children in both life and faith.
To support that mission, we have gathered a collection of helpful parenting resources that we hope our parents will find to be insightful, biblically rooted and culturally relevant. Raising children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord begins with us as parents growing in our knowledge of God and faithfully modeling His truth at home.
May God guide and bless your efforts as you train up your children to walk in His truth. Together, let’s inspire our students to have a heart for God, a mind for truth, and a passion to change the world.
