Advising & Academic Support
Throughout their time at Northern, students meet with their advisers to discuss course selection, ways to improve their academic experience, and long-term goals for their future.
Preparing for College
As a college preparatory school, Northern Academy initiates our students’ college planning process from middle school in life skill classes. The college planning at Northern develops an individualized road map to success for the student, which includes academic work, character development, special interests and skill sets, as well as the college application.
How is college planning being done at Northern?
Typically, a comprehensive service starts from 9th grade until graduation. All high school students will attend college planning classes each year that specifically addresses: course selection, college and career exploration and community service opportunities.
In addition to group lessons, students will receive individual sessions with both their advisor and their college counselor. Experienced counselors will seamlessly integrate Northern’s academic and extracurricular programs with their unique planning process, which utilizes social and corporate resources.
Through this process we are able to tailor the college process to the specific needs, abilities, and interests of each students.
What can parents learn from college planning?
College planning can help break down myths about college, such as “my teen can make a good living without a college education”, or “I don’t have the money and my teen can’t afford to take out loans to pay for college”.
Parents can learn why they should help their children go to college and how they can encourage their children to apply. They can also find out about the different types of colleges and choose those that are most affordable.
What is the goal of college planning?
The college planning adviser will coach the student on how to best utilize his/her time and resources during the 4-year high school experience. The adviser will also guide students toward developing a well-balanced and unique profile that can be competitive for the college of the student’s choice.
The student will be mentally and academically ready for college life through the planning. The process can also transform the student to be a responsible citizen with high moral standards.

Talented and Gifted Students
At Northern, talented and gifted (TAG) students who master a subject significantly more quickly than their classmates will be exposed to some of the material covered by the next grade. For example, math TAG students in Middle School might take the equivalent of a High School-level algebra course. AP courses will also be provided for TAG students in high school.
Our mission is to nurture students to become cultured individuals of exemplary moral character. To this end, we provide an education drawn from the classics and the arts, one steeped in divinely inspired traditional values of the East and West.
We are accredited by the Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Institutions of the Middle States Association.
