Upcoming Events

NorthStar Academy’s Community Connections Huddles bring students and families together to learn, grow, and celebrate in Christ. These gatherings are more than just events — they’re opportunities to build community, strengthen faith, and create meaningful memories as part of our NorthStar family.

Throughout the year, families can take part in a variety of Huddles designed to connect us in different ways:

  • Discover Huddles invite us to explore God’s world and creation.
  • Learning Huddles deepen knowledge and spark curiosity.
  • Equip Huddles provide practical skills and tools for parents & supervisors.
  • Impact Huddles inspire us to serve others and make a difference.

Wherever you are in Alberta, you’ll find opportunities to join with other NorthStar families in your region — discovering, learning, equipping, and serving together in Christ.
