Courses for Students in 7th & 8th Grade

NorthStar is excited to offer middle 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?

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!

Middle school students experience interactive courses with certified, engaging teachers and a rich community full of social interaction, clubs, and more! We believe in partnering with supervisors to intentionally prepare our 7th and 8th grade students for the high school level.

Middle school students may be registered for the online classes listed below unless a specific grade level requirement is noted. Please note that middle school students who register for high school courses beyond the ones listed below will be removed from those courses by our registrar.
