distinctly classical
and decidedly Christian
in Middletown, OH.

Northstar Classical School is an independent, classical, Christian school, located in historic Middletown, Ohio. We are currently enrolling Jr. Kindergarten through 7th Grade for 2024-2025 with plans to add grades each year until we are a Jr. K - 12th Grade school.  

Our goal is to provide our students with an education that sharpens minds, fosters a love for God, and cultivates a love and passion for learning.

Our Mission: In partnership with parents, and guided by the Gospel, we seek to educate students to the highest standards of the classical tradition, so that they may grow in knowledge, wisdom, and the love of God, and more ably use their gifts in the service of others, and for the glory of Christ and his Church.

What is
Classical,
Christian
Education?

Classical education was initiated by the ancient Greeks. Its effectiveness has proven over centuries and it was the standard method of education until around 100 years ago. It’s not new, it’s not constantly changing, and it produces incredible results.

Characteristics of Classical, Christian education:

Age-appropriate learning

Age Appropriate Learning

Classical education is defined by three stages of learning: grammar, logic, and rhetoric - often called the Trivium. Each stage uses age-appropriate tools, and those are a large part of why classical education has been so effective through the centuries. 

Educating the whole person

The intention of a classical education is to affect the whole person by providing a well-rounded liberal arts education. The curriculum emphasizes the Trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric, as well as the study of Latin, Math, Science, and the fine arts.

Christ-Centered Curriculum

Christ-Centered Curriculum

Even if not explicitly stated, all education uses a set of beliefs and values that form and shape students, and ultimately the culture. We understand the weight of this responsibility and embrace education with the understanding that everything worthy of pursuit - everything true, good, and beautiful - finds its foundation in the person and work of Christ.

Our Culture.

At Northstar, we highly value the importance of family. Parents have the primary responsibility of educating their children. We are their partners.

We offer an abbreviated schedule, which means a shorter school week. This enables more family time and increased opportunity for parents to be engaged in what their students are learning.
