parents and families


Students describe Northwestern College as a big family. Hopefully you’ll come to feel part of that family too. We are committed to investing in students’ intellectual, spiritual and social growth—growth that, for most, began at home. Now, to prepare your kids for the lives and homes they will build on their own, Northwestern offers high-quality academics combined with a Christian perspective and opportunities for service and co-curricular participation. We intend for our students to be ready for careers in a constantly changing workplace, and more importantly, to be leaders—and servants—in a complex and needy world.

Northwestern’s close-knit community quickly becomes students’ home away from home. Their “family” grows to include their RAs, wing mates, people in their classes, and faculty and staff, some of whom will become lifelong mentors and friends. Campus activities and traditions like “Clash of the Classes” and Ballyhoo are planned for almost every weekend, not to mention concerts, plays and sports for every season. Nearly half the student body joins Bible study and campus ministry groups, and the community of Orange City is safe and friendly.
