Academics
Northstar Christian Academy provides Christ-centered instructions for children from pre-school through their senior year of high school. Elementary (K-6) children are instructed in small classroom settings. In 7th & 8th grades they move to the high school wing of the school, and are helped to transition to different schedules and learning methods. High school (9-12) students are being prepared for college.
The grading system at Northstar is as follows:
A+ = 98-100
A= 94-97
A- = 90-93
B+ = 88-89
B = 86-87
B- = 83-85
C+ = 81-82
C = 77-80
C- = 74-76
D+ = 72-73
D = 70-71
F = Below 70
A student must be passing all classes to be on the Honor Roll
94-100 or 3.8 - 4.0 = High Honor Roll
