EXPERIENTIAL

Experiential learning is the knowledge students gain from actively doing something as opposed to passively reading a book. One of the most common forms at Northstar is Project-Based Learning, where students work on projects that require them to study and interact with real-world issues. Other forms include role-playing, simulations, and internships where students immerse themselves in actual work.

Students explore and learn from real-life scenarios. Research shows that student motivation increases when students recognize a link between their learning and its actual application. Experiential Learning gives them a chance to recognize the interdisciplinarity of reality; for example, understanding climate change demands an ability to connect biology, social studies, economics, and politics.

Our educators are trained in various forms of experiential learning and appreciate the value of real-life experiences. Individual educators use their discretion to design curricula using experiential methods that best fit the learning goals.

ARTS

Arts & Learning

At Northstar, we take a holistic approach to art that considers it a process of using imagination and skills to express important ideas or feelings. Since the expression of ideas requires students to be conscious of their thoughts, the artistic process enriches learning in any discipline. We encourage students to use their imagination in all areas such as biology to create posters, dances, songs, or videos that demonstrate their thinking.

We believe learning the arts is an essential step toward self-discovery. Students reflect upon the works of others and develop the ability to create works that express their own emotions. By studying both historic and contemporary global art, students learn about their world and explore the human mind across time and place.

SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL (SEL)


SEL is the development of skills, knowledge, and attitudes students need to manage emotions, relate positively to others, and maintain meaningful relationships. Through self-awareness, students set and pursue personal goals; through empathy, they make responsible decisions

Learning happens best in a supportive environment where students feel safe to be who they are. Since daring to make mistakes is essential for learning, a sense of trust is crucial. SEL prevents risky behaviors and helps students deal with stress or pressure found in competitive environments.

SEL is integrated into every part of The Northstar School. It is not taught in isolation but developed through intentional personal and collective reflections. Educators promote SEL in their teaching and function as mentors who guide students in making responsible decisions.

SELF DIRECTED


Self-directed Learning is based on the idea that students learn how to learn. This enables them to take charge of their own education beyond formal schooling. It involves setting goals, planning how to reach them, and evaluating effectiveness along the way. The teacher acts as a mentor who pushes students to understand their own abilities and potential for growth.

The ability to learn new things is a life skill that enables students to adapt to an ever-changing reality. By taking responsibility for their learning, students pursue subjects that excite them, which motivates deep understanding.

At Northstar, students are the drivers of their own learning. Our job is to help them develop a joy for learning and the skills to excel at it. Teachers provide appropriate guidance and questions to help students find answers for themselves.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology & Learning

We consider technology a powerful tool to support learning. We think about the learning goals first and how technology supports those goals second. This ensures we use technology only when it makes sense as a way to enhance student learning.

We equip our students with the skills to thrive in digitized societies. This means helping them gain fluency in digital devices while also teaching them about online security and the reliability of information. Students learn to critically assess media messages to resist manipulation. Northstar offers subjects like computer programming, video, and graphic design to facilitate this.

BLENDED


Blended learning is a classroom where students learn from face-to-face instruction as well as digital content. It is a mix of "offline" and "online" learning that involves rotations between lectures, group work, and individual digital tasks.

Blended learning opens up opportunities for differentiated and personalized learning. Students learn at different speeds, and digital tools allow them to go at their own pace. No student is held back, and no student struggles to keep up; they simply go over the material again or select a different format that explains the concept from a new angle.

At Northstar, technology supports learning rather than distracting from it. Our educators design the online curriculum and decide how to best use blended learning in their specific classes.
