The real
achievement of Northview does not lie in the academic results nor
the number of trophies obtained throughout the year. It lies in the
positive learning environment that has been fostered and the "ethos
of care" that learners and staff have nurtured over the years. It
has become an environment where the development of the each child's
individual potential is at the centre of all decision making. The
School's motto: "Live, Love and Learn like Jesus" underpins all
ventures and ensures a steadfast spirit of commitment within the
learners towards achieving their best.
This environment has not developed by chance. Northview has grown
through the vision of those who first conceptualised it - the early
trustees, staff and parent community who believed that a school
built on quality education and Christian values was, indeed
necessary in Polokwane.
Today Northview Christian Academy (NCA) is one of the most diverse
independent schools in Limpopo. The school's demographic profile
truely represents South African society. The diversity within the
school is successfully managed in accordance with the guiding
principles of the school's ethos: respect and regard.
