The Northstar School

About The Northstar School

We are a small international school (preschool to grade 9) in the city of Rajkot (Gujarat, India) founded by Harvard alums. We welcomed our first cohort of learners in June 2016, and proudly consider our school to be a work in progress as we implement progressive methods to build a thriving learning community. Our vision is for our learners to first and foremost develop a responsible and compassionate connection with themselves, others, and their communities and then to appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of real world phenomena and envision the role they wish to play in the world. Our unique methodology, exploratory learning, is experiential, interdisciplinary and inquiry-based. Our long integrated Explorations and discrete subjects rest upon project-based learning experiences that investigate concepts and ideas through field trips, feedback from external experts, research and meaningful assessments. Visual and performing art plays a central role in the design of both Explorations and subject-specific units as we believe the artistic process has the potential to enrich student learning in any discipline.
