• WELCOME MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS: GRADES 6-8

  • All students 6-8 will be expected to take 4 core classes and 1 elective. Electives will be broken down by semester. 

    Con-Current Enrollment:

    It is your responsibility to enroll at your zoned school IF they are accepting enrollment AND to let North Star know if your student will be taking con-current courses at their zoned school. 

     

    Students will be scheduled into a full course load: 5 courses for grades 6-8 even if the zone school allows con-current enrollment.

    • ***World Languages are not available for Middle School students through North Star at this time. 

      Courses may be available at your zone school

      Please keep in mind that any high school courses taken in middle school will not earn high school credit. However, depending on the final grade, it could allow the student to advance to the next level when the student transitions to high school.
