Imagine a child who knows that labels do not define her. Imagine a teacher who truly believes every child can learn. Imagine a school where all students are understood, accepted and encouraged. Welcome to Northstar Academy, where miracles happen every day.

A small private school for students with learning differences, Northstar Academy is dedicated to educating the whole child – academically, physically, emotionally and socially – in the unique way that each child learns best. Here, students once frustrated and disillusioned become excited by possibilities for learning and for life.

Our students may not have thrived in traditional educational settings, but at Northstar we embrace their challenges in pursuit of a joy of learning and renewed self-confidence. The moment you walk through our doors, you’ll sense the warmth and excitement we feel everyday as we prepare our students for a lifetime of learning and achievement.

We would love to welcome you to the Northstar family. Take a look around our web site to get to know us better, and be sure to contact us at 804 747-1003 to find out more.
