Courses for Students in 9th-12th Grade

NorthStar is excited to offer high school students core and elective courses through our NSA Flex and NSA Live programs! Students may enroll for just one semester or for the entire year, in one or more courses.

What is the difference in NSA Flex and NSA Live? 👆 Click here to find out!

NSA Flex courses offer many start dates through the year. Students work on their own pace, having 52 weeks to complete 36 weeks of course work in a year long course, and 26 weeks to complete 18 weeks of course work in a semester course.

NSA Live courses begin in August each year and are in session until early June, with the opportunity to add semester courses to begin in January as well. With weekly live sessions with the teacher and other students in the course, NSA Live is a great option for students needing more structure and accountability.

Students can take both NSA Flex and NSA Live courses at the same time. For more similarities and differences including NSA Live dates, click here!

High school students have the opportunity to have a fully accredited Christian education, online. Along with core subjects and honors courses, students can choose from Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses, Dual Credit (DC), and many electives.
