it all begins with a hope.

In this case, a hope for one’s own children to be formed and shaped by a Christ-centered, excellence-driven education. Maybe you’ve thought you would love to see something happen, but it seemed impossible. Too many obstacles, not enough guarantees. 

That describes Kristy Adjei and Julie Dockery’s starting point. Ideas, vision, and dreams abounded, but that is not enough to get something off the ground. Over the course of a year of prayer and planning, they took small steps of faith and God provided at just the right time, in just the right ways. 

A handful of students and a of couple teachers turned into eighteen students and 6 teachers to start the pilot year of North Star Classical Christian School. The inaugural year continued to be a story of walking by faith and desperately looking to God for guidance and provision. To borrow the words of John Newton, "through dangers, toils, and snares, the school has already come; it is grace that brought us safe thus far, and our hope is that grace will lead us home."
