At Northstar Academy, we value people over labels. We ensure an educational experience that is both traditional and unconventional, recognizing the unique needs of each student. While using innovative methods to unlock student talents, we recognize our students’ desires to participate in activities that will enrich their school experiences. We provide state-of-the-art technology in our classrooms in order to give our students every possibility for accessing the curriculum and expressing themselves. We provide vocational and educational support as our upper school students plan for their future, and we are here to support them in their life pursuits. We give our students a place to call their educational home.

Northstar is different from other schools in extraordinary ways. Our students are creative, multi-talented and engaged, and the also learn in different ways that Northstar understands, supports, and celebrates. We recognize our students’ exceptional talents, capitalize on their strengths and show them how their nontraditional approach to problem-solving and achievement is uniquely suited for 21st century success. Our innovative arts-infused curriculum has carved a niche that places Northstar at the forefront of educating students who learn differently. Northstar is widely recognized for serving a student population of diverse abilities and challenges utilizing strategies and curriculum backed by ground-breaking research and professional resources that help our students reach their highest aspirations.

Northstar has launched a Career Academy their year which aims to help students develop the self-determination and self-advocacy skills necessary for achieving independent living, employment and/or post-secondary education. We create customized coaching that supports and motivates students to work toward and reach their goals and aspirations. Through this program, students leave campus to work with community business partners at jobs that promote independence, self-determination, career readiness and problem-solving skills. Additionally, students have the opportunity to participate in on-campus leadership opportunities and college-bound individuals are coached through the process of self-advocacy and the admission process.
