About the school
North Star Academy is a small learning community that offers a variety of accelerated and enrichment experiences, including advanced courses, which result in scholars having the opportunity to graduate from grade 8 with several High School Regents Exams: Algebra I, US History and Government, Biology, and English. We integrate technology throughout instruction using Google Suite Education to ensure that our scholars are college and career-ready. Every scholar is given access to a laptop to experience the curriculum through an interactive, hands-on, minds-on format. Also, we have a state-of-the-art Science Lab that enables our students to gain hands-on scientific experience. Our extended day learning program offers a variety of enrichment activities (sports, arts, trips, etc.) which allow scholars to learn new skills, gain experiences, and tap into their intellect. Families appreciate the accessibility of administrators and school staff, which helps to build a sense of community that defines our positive school culture. We promote excellence through high expectations of teaching and learning, positive academic behavior, and social and emotional support. We pride ourselves on providing our scholars with a safe, supportive, and highly structured learning environment.
