The National Association of High School Scholars assessment:
​
"Northstar School is dedicated to developing global awareness and citizenship through a unique, specialized curriculum and a strong emphasis on experiential learning. Students take courses in World History, Human Geography, Leadership Development, and Environmental Science to learn about cultural diversity and conflict resolution, as well as the impact of humans on the environment.
The school’s weekly guest speaker program brings people from around the world to discuss contemporary global issues.
Northstar students have the opportunity to travel abroad as well as welcome international students into their community."
