Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
- Psalm 25:4-5

What are Distinctive Academic Programs?

Northlake Christian School offers a variety of distinctive academic programming (DAP) options - research based, individually specific educational opportunities - for students with individual educational needs beyond the scope of the traditional classroom setting. These programs are specifically designed to help students succeed in all areas of academics. These programs range from gifted programming, to content tutoring, to intensive individualized core courses, and even include Northlake's Homeschool Partnership Program. Each distinctive academic program requires consultation and a team approach in order to ensure the appropriate program is selected to meet the needs of the individual student.
