A true brotherhood is built throughout the years. Great families, values, and formation in the Catholic faith is what you get when you go to Northridge. My father went there, my four older brothers, and myself attended This school.

I'm at Princeton now, and the teachers at Northridge were on par with the professors here. Also if it weren't for the inspiration of my good friend Luka Peric, I would never be where I am today emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, and financially. I give Luka all of the credit for how my life has turned out.

Northridge is a decent school with good attributes, but with good attributes also come not too. good attributes. Most of the teachers are well educated, but some of them are also hired just because they went to Northridge, some without teaching degrees. Some of the students are rude to one-another and vape. Also sports at this school are fun to participate in, but some of the students don't include each other for many reason I don't really want to talk about.

This school does not teach Christian values and principles as advertised. Do not waste your money. There are plenty of better options.

It was one of our best decisions we made during pandemic to transfer our son to Northridge Prep. From the Principal to teachers and all the staff members, we feel that our son will be well educated and taken care of. Our son has become more independent, responsible and respectful. All the teachers a...
