At Northstar, change has never arrived through grand announcements. It begins quietly, in conversations, in questions, and in the courage to challenge what has always been accepted without thought. We live in a community where, for generations, girls during their periods have been considered untouchable, distanced from daily life, and

There was a little girl from Grade 3 who came to me every single morning without fail. She would wish me “Good morning, Ma’am,” and wrap her tiny arms around me in the warmest hug. One day, when I gently asked her why she hugged me every day, her

Art is not just something we look at, it is a personal experience, a way to draw meaning from the world around us. When our learners explore art, they learn that it has no single, rigid definition. It lives in Warli paintings, in a stroke of an abstract painting, and

The Northstar Nest is a place to learn and grow for our learners, educators, parents, and the community. We have spent an incredible amount of time designing our spaces. Alongside our indoor learning architecture, we have spared no effort to create meaningful, fun, and curriculum-aligned play areas. Free, open play

In a world that rushes, we must teach children to be still. This International Yoga Day, our learners explored peace and patience. We welcomed Yoga experts, Dhara Kotecha and Khushi S.They taught us that yoga is not about doing, it is about being. It is not easy for children

Every new academic year begins long before the learners arrive on campus. This past week, both our campuses opened their doors for the Parent Orientation 2026. These orientations are not merely administrative routines, they are the moments where we align our perspective with the families who entrust us with their

A school without learners is a strange place. The corridors are silent. The whiteboards are blank. Yet, for the past two weeks, Northstar has been alive with a different kind of energy. We hosted True North Foundations 2026. TNF is our annual gathering. It is a space where educational philosophy

As we look back on the academic year, we are proud to mark two years of Northstar Neemods. Northstar Neemods are trans-curricular programs, offering new learning experiences. What makes these programs truly unique is that they are fully integrated into our school timings. They are a core part of the

The Northstar School is excited to host True North Foundations 2026.Northstar’s annual pedagogical and learning symposium designed exclusively for Northstar educators.

T.S. Eliot once wrote that the end of all our exploring is to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. It is a profound paradox: that after all the wandering, the most significant discovery we make is the one we have carried with us

Bidding farewell is never easy. It is a transition that turns daily presence into lasting memory. The Class of 2026 has already stepped into a world of vast possibilities. At Northstar, we stay behind for a moment, simply reminiscing about the years spent together. The hallways feel different now, yet

Dante Alighieri began his greatest work by speaking of a moment where the road feels lost and the woods grow dark and unfamiliar. For many children, the traditional path of learning can feel exactly like that, a daunting place where they feel astray from their true potential, lost in a

Last year, we introduced the Mulberry Program as an extension of the Northstar experience.

This program aims to further solidify academic concepts and foster holistic growth

As the HEP-TNS collaboration 2026 came to an end, Northstar was filled with a familiar warmth. Their departure was a reminder that while Switzerland and India may be miles apart, the educational philosophy remains the same.  Reflecting on these two weeks, Mohit Sir shared, "It doesn't feel like you are

The world outside often feels loud, hurried, and fragmented. It demands speed. But we believe a child’s environment should be the opposite: slow, intentional, and unhurried. Charles Baudelaire wrote of an ideal place where there is nothing else but grace and measure. At Northstar, this isn't just poetry, it

Every morning, the sun rises on a new set of questions. The writer Jorge Luis Borges once wrote of a dawn that finds us exactly where we are. It is a beautiful thought, but at Northstar we have observed something slightly different. We believe the dawn finds us a little

At Northstar, we often talk about the importance of the environment. We carefully curate our physical spaces to be unhurried and safe. But recently, a workshop conducted by one of our educators reminded us that our learners are spending hours every day in an environment which  we cannot keep a

Education at Northstar is a dialogue that extends beyond the classroom. Education is rarely about a single moment, it is about the continuity of ideas. Since 2018, The Northstar School has maintained a  profound dialogue with HEP Switzerland. What began as an exchange program has evolved into a shared philosophy

At Northstar, we have always believed that a school is not just a building or a curriculum. It is a living, breathing philosophy. As we mark our 10th year, a decade of teaching and learning, we find ourselves looking back at the foundation of our vision. We realized that our

It is not uncommon to see schools use a test as a filter for admissions. A test or an interview is used to decide who gets in and who stays out. At Northstar, we see it differently. For us, the admission process isn't a gate, it is a bridge. For

We are proud to share that Mohit Sir was recently featured in a podcast by InspireED Talk, now streaming on YouTube. In this engaging episode, he reflects on Northstar’s journey and the vision behind creating a learning environment that truly inspires. During the conversation, Mohit Sir delves into the

As part of Wildlife Week, our learners embarked on a journey to explore and appreciate the beauty of nature around them.
