A Beneficial Partnership North Kern Christian School was founded in 1976 to assist Christian parents in fulfilling their divine responsibility to thoroughly train their children to obey God in every area of life and make them true disciples of Jesus Christ. The Independent Study Pro-gram was developed in 1990, to extend the school's services to parents who feel led to educate their children at home. Parental authority and responsibility for a child's education come directly from God. The school is a supplementary agency, a supportive partner in this vital task.
