History

North Star Academy was founded by a group of parents who believed families should have both a voice and a choice in their children’s education. We dreamed of creating a school that would challenge students academically while also developing the whole child.

We wanted our students to receive an exceptional academic foundation with proven curriculum, a world class foreign language program, and meaningful character education. Most importantly, we wanted to develop well-rounded young people who are confident, compassionate, responsible and prepared to make a positive difference in the world.

After two years of planning and development, North Star Academy opened its doors in 2006 with 350 students and a shared vision to create an extraordinary place of learning, growth and opportunity.

From the beginning, North Star has been built on partnership. We believe it takes a village to educate a child, and we deeply value the partnership among parents, teachers, students and our community. We believe children thrive when the adults in their lives work together, communicate productively and share a common purpose. Our mission is the foundation for everything we do. Every decision we make is guided by our mission and by what is best for our students.

North Star Academy provides a Core Knowledge education with an integrated Spanish language program that challenges students to meet their highest potential through differentiated academic instruction and rich social and cultural experiences within a safe, orderly and nurturing environment.
