Homeschooling offers something deeply valuable: the freedom to shape your child’s education around your values, your schedule, and your child’s unique learning style. But even the most seasoned homeschooling families sometimes need a little extra support — whether it’s a high school lab science, a certified teacher for accountability, or just someone else to come alongside you in the journey.
That’s where NorthStar Academy (NSA) steps in. As a fully accredited Christian online school serving grades 4–12, we offer flexibility without isolation — and structure without control. Whether you’re homeschooling solo, part of a co-op, or leading a group of learners overseas, NSA was built to partner with you, not replace you.
🤝 Not Just a Program — A Partner
We know homeschoolers often feel like they’re navigating education alone. NSA changes that.
Our role is to come alongside parents and co-op leaders — providing trusted curriculum, credentialed teachers, spiritual support, and access to a global Christian community.
Here’s what that looks like in real life:
🎯 You Stay in Control — We Provide the Support
With NorthStar, you choose what your student needs. Maybe it’s just a single math course. Maybe it’s a full high school transcript. Either way, you remain the educational leader — and we provide the tools, accountability, and Christ-centered teaching.
Parents and co-op supervisors have the freedom to:
- Choose full-time or part-time enrollment
- Enroll students in just one or multiple classes
- Build a custom schedule that fits your family’s rhythm
- Remain involved in your child’s progress through supervisor access
You’re still the driver. We’re the seatbelt, the map, and the cheerleader.
🖥️ Two Flexible Learning Formats
We offer two distinct pathways to fit your family’s needs:
NSA Flex
A self-paced model with structured deadlines, certified teachers, and biblical integration — ideal for families who want freedom with support.
NSA Live
Real-time class sessions for students who thrive with schedule-based learning and live interaction. Great for co-ops or families looking for more direct teacher engagement.
Both models include:
- Interactive online content through our BUZZ LMS
- Access to teachers via email, chat, and video
- Graded assignments and feedback
- Christ-centered worldview across every subject
🧪 Robust Course Options for Every Stage
Homeschool families often hit curriculum roadblocks when students reach middle or high school. NSA helps fill in those gaps with over 200 courses, including:
- Core subjects (math, science, English, social studies)
- Honors and Advanced Placement® (AP®) options
- Dual Credit college courses
- Bible and worldview electives
- Career prep, technology, foreign language, , entrepreneurship, and more
Your student can get the rigor and variety of a private Christian school education, all while staying in your homeschool environment.
