How do you define the value of the Northstar experience? Is it the spark you see in a child who has conquered a previously insurmountable challenge? Is it the discovery of newfound confidence and potential for learning and for life? Our students’ experiences here can significantly influence every aspect of their lives.

However, we understand that private education is an investment, and we are committed to making Northstar affordable by offering convenient tuition payment plans and scholarship assistance to families who qualify for need-based aid. If your student does not qualify for tuition payment by their .

home school district, a limited amount of need-based aid is available from our own scholarship fund as well as from outside sources and foundations. If you are considering Northstar, do not let cost be a deterrent. Our students come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds and many receive financial aid. There are a number of resources out there, and need-based scholarship assistance is available.
