This is who we are
Northcross Christian School is a ministry of Ryde Baptist Church. More than 40 years ago, the church acted on what we believe was a vision from God to found a school that would serve our local community. We are blessed to have the spiritual covering and oversight of the church. We believe humans are more than just flesh and blood, we believe we are all spiritual beings. We are on this planet to fulfil God’s plan, not only for our own life but also for His creation. As such, we work hard to provide our students with experiences that help them discover who they have been made to be and flourish under Him.
History
This is where we’ve come from
Northcross Christian School, formerly Ryde Christian Community School, was established in 1981 as a ministry of Ryde Baptist Church. It began as a group of approximately 15, K-6 students and has grown to over 370 students today. The aim of the school in the early days was to provide quality, affordable Christian schooling to the Christian community of Ryde and surrounding areas.
More than 40 years later the school continues to fulfil that vision and it remains a key value of the school. The school had a re-branding in 2002 which saw a name change, new logo and a change in uniform from green and gold to blue, white and red.
