Huddles Program

Connect. Learn. Serve. Grow.

As part of our commitment to being a Community of Learners Connected in Christ, NorthStar Academy’s Huddle Program offers dynamic, in-person and virtual opportunities for students and families to connect, grow in community, and explore the world through a faith-based lens.

We host a minimum of eight Huddles per year in each of our three geographical zones (North & Edmonton Area, Central & Red Deer Area, South & Calgary Area), ensuring accessible and consistent opportunities to gather throughout the school year.  Bonus events may pop up along the way as opportunities arise!

Discovery Huddles (formerly Activity Days)

Hands-on field trip-style adventures that inspire curiosity and build connection. From corn mazes to science centres, these one-day experiences allow students and families to step beyond their regular learning routines and explore God’s world—together.

Learning Huddles

Single-day or multi-week experiences focused on academic growth and collaborative exploration. These Huddles strengthen skills, deepen understanding, and nurture students as compassionate communicators and creative contributors.

Equip Huddles

Designed to support parents and guardians, Equip Huddles offer practical encouragement and tools to navigate the home education journey. While students enjoy fun, community-building activities, parents connect with each other and grow in their role as educational partners.
