Our Mission

The mission of Northern Star Online is to educate secondary students to be lifelong learners by providing high quality online courses and learning experiences that permit the learner to renew, accelerate, and/or personalize their learning at any time and in any place.

Northern Star Online will provide online learning courses and programs that are rigorous, aligned with state academic standards and contribute to the grade progression of students toward graduation, as measured through a continuous review process that involves input from students, parents, teachers, administrators and partner district representatives.
