Beyond the classroom
01Which extracurricular experiences are available?+
We believe that good education entails physical fitness and wellness. Only a handful of school campuses in the country have the open spaces and landscaping that Northstar has. We think it is crucial for learners to experience such a campus life. Being holed-up in a concrete, utilitarian high rise block with no trees is a disservice to kids. Northstar campus naturally creates opportunities for physical fitness as they walk, run and play around in our massive, tree-filled campus. Our spacious campus has the facilities to cater to various sports activities like Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Cricket, Swimming pool, etc. Our Sports and Wellness curriculum is broad and well-rounded to provide learners with exposure to a variety of skills. We also have a custom designed free play area.
We also offer a wide range of learning experiences that go above and beyond the curriculum, such as, Explorations, Mallorn (reading program), Montage (movie club), Horticulture, Noesis (philosophy program), etc.
There is a large offering of electives throughout the year which changes each year. Here are a few examples:

Northstar Approach
01What is the Northstar Approach to education?+

02How is technology used in the classroom?+
Technology is treated as a learning tool, not a pedagogy by itself. Educators begin with the learning goal and use technology only when it meaningfully supports that goal. From Grade 5 onward, the school follows a device-agnostic Bring Your Own Device model.
03How does Northstar prepare learners for the future?+
Learners gradually take charge of their own learning. The Habits of Mind program, critical thinking and educator-supported individual learning journeys build skills for university, professional life and continued learning.
04Which streams are available in high school?+
Learners can select subjects across sciences, commerce and humanities based on their interests and university plans.
05Do you provide University admissions counseling?+
Yes. The Office of College and Career Counselling supports learners with academic, career and personal planning so they can make informed decisions about life after school.
