At NorthStar Academy, gratitude is something we strive to practice every day. It’s easy to be thankful when we consider the people and experiences that make our global online community so special.
We are thankful for our students and families, who bring dedication, curiosity, and purpose into their learning every single day. Whether logging in from a busy city, a remote area, or somewhere in between, our students make NSA a vibrant, worldwide community. To see more of what student life looks like — including clubs, chapels, leadership opportunities, and connection events — explore our Student Life page.
We are thankful for our teachers and staff, who serve across time zones to ensure students feel supported, encouraged, and known. Because we are an international online school, our team works flexible hours to meet learners wherever they are. Their commitment and care are at the heart of the NSA experience. Learn more about the caring individuals behind our classrooms on our Staff & Faculty page.
We are thankful for the vision and foundation of our school — the structure, values, and mission that make NSA who we are. Our School Profile gives an overview of NSA as a Christ-centered, accredited, international online academy. It’s a great starting point for families looking to understand our approach and what sets us apart.
We are thankful for the ease of navigating our school community — even though we don’t share a physical campus, our online “campus” is still easy to explore and feel part of. Our interactive School Map helps families and students see how everything connects: academics, community, spiritual life, and more.
We are thankful for the opportunities online education gives, allowing students to grow academically while still making room for sports, missions, travel, family commitments, or personal passions. At NSA, flexibility doesn’t mean compromising community or quality — it means creating space for students to grow in every area. Learn more about NorthStar Academy here!
Most of all, we are thankful for the entire NSA family. From parents who faithfully support their learners, to students who bring their gifts and voices to the community, to teachers who pour their hearts into their classes — every person plays a meaningful role in shaping who we are.
