Course Description

Jesus’ Ministry and Disciples offers an in-depth study of the person and work of Jesus Christ, guiding students through His life, teachings, and redemptive mission. Beginning with the ways God reveals Himself through Scripture, the course moves into Jesus’ birth, preparation for ministry, and early miracles. Students will explore the significance of His Galilean ministry, His role as a master teacher, and His encounters with individuals from all walks of life, each interaction demonstrating His compassion and divine authority.

As the course progresses, students will follow Jesus through the events of Passion Week, studying His triumphal entry, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection. The final modules focus on Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances, His ascension, and the lasting call to discipleship.

Carnegie Credits Explained: Our Approach vs. Trimester Credits

Carnegie Credit System
Northgate Academy follows the Carnegie Credit system, a widely recognized method of measuring student progress based on instructional hours. A single Carnegie credit reflects approximately 120 hours of coursework, typically completed over a full academic year.

Carnegie Credit vs. Trimester Credit
While Carnegie credits are awarded based on total hours over a year, trimester credits divide the school year into three terms. In a trimester system, students complete courses in shorter, intensive sessions, often earning partial credits (e.g., 0.33 or 0.5 per term). In contrast, Northgate’s use of Carnegie credits ensures students have ample time to engage deeply with the material and develop a well-rounded understanding at a consistent pace.
