Northlake Christian School

What Northlake Christian School does

Northlake Christian School (NCS) is a private, non-denominational Christian school and daycare located on a single campus at 70104 Wolverine Drive in Covington, Louisiana, serving approximately 800 students from infancy through twelfth grade. The school operates three academic divisions — the Early Learning Center (infants through age 3), Elementary (pre-kindergarten through sixth grade), and Secondary (seventh through twelfth grade) — and is accredited through ACSI and Advanc-Ed and a member of the Louisiana High School Athletic Association. Founded in 1978, NCS has operated continuously for over 47 years and is governed by an independent Board of Directors.

The business model is a non-profit tuition-driven operation. Core revenue comes from recurring tuition and fees across the three divisions, supplemented by before/after care, the Camp Northlake summer and seasonal camp program (operated as an adjacent subsidiary and open to non-NCS students), the Wolverine Wearhouse uniform and spirit wear retail store, and charitable giving through the Annual Fund and Holiday Wish List programs. The school also participates in the LA GATOR Louisiana state school choice scholarship program, which channels state funds to qualifying families. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective families are directed to the Finance Office, and need-based tuition assistance is available. Marketing and enrollment are driven through the school's website, social media (@ncscovington), Calendly-scheduled campus tours, and a Shadow Day program.

Strategically, the school is in a leadership transition following the March 2026 appointment of Dr. Sean Englert as Head of School after a national search. Dr. Englert, who previously held multiple internal roles at NCS over eleven years, brings a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from Liberty University and ordained ministerial experience. The school's recent moves — including adjacent product lines (Camp Northlake, Wolverine Wearhouse), LA GATOR participation, and a permanent executive appointment — suggest incremental footprint and revenue diversification within a stable single-campus operating model.
