Start with a strong foundation.
The Lower School is dedicated to the belief that each student is an important individual with special gifts and unique abilities. The beginning years of education should mold a student’s academic, social, and emotional view of school. At Northstar, we recognize that a recent diagnosis can be daunting. Northstar values every student as an individual and we are specialists in identifying our students’ strengths. Our teachers recognize how your student learns best and where they need extra support.
