Northern Star Online: Partnering in online education for over 20 years
Northern Star Online (NSO) was founded on the idea that online learning should be a collaborative partnership. We work closely with schools and families throughout Minnesota to make sure we are doing what’s best for students by keeping them engaged in their school community while meeting their online learning needs.
Northern Star Online is the largest public school provider of online supplemental courses in Minnesota. As a public school, our courses are state-approved, meet Minnesota state standards, and are taught by Minnesota licensed public school teachers. No matter where a student lives in Minnesota or why they are looking for online courses, our goal is to help students succeed and learn.
"Everyone at NSO, from enrollment through the individual teachers, have been so amazing to work with! They are flexible, kind and compassionate. And, with their help, my son has been able to stay afloat and graduate on time. We are so thankful for NSO!"
