| Our Curriculum |
 At the heart of all that we do at NorthStarUK is curriculum of the highest quality. Curriculum is the learning bridge between our tutors and our students. As such, we are committed to offering our students the best possible learning opportunities. In all that we do, however, we fully recognise that what we offer students and their families is complementary to the rich learning experiences that are a part of everyday life.We supply our students with more than just lessons and assignments. As part of our commitment to an enriching learning experience, our curriculum makes use of some of the best textbooks, workbooks and CDROMs produced by some of the UK's leading educational publishers. NSUK has also entered into an agreement with Encyclopedia Britannica to provide all of our families with free access to Britannica Online Student Edition, a special edition of the famous Encyclopedia Britannica aimed especially at young people. If that was not enough, families also receive full access to the complete version of Encyclopedia Britannica. This alone is worth £39.99. To find out more about Britannica, click HERE . NorthStarUK tutors provide their GCSE and IGCSE students with considerable support to ensure that they are ready for the examinations, in addition to providing guidance on issues such as examination entry. However, it is the responsibility of parents to enter their child for examinations with the GCSE or IGCSE boards and to find an examination centre where their child will be able to sit the examinations. NorthStarUK uses textbooks from a range of major publishers. Families are expected to purchase their own textbooks from a list provided by NorthStarUK on enrolment. In Spanish we make use of resources produced by the National Extension College. This is included in your course fee. While using secular textbooks students will be equipped to consider their studies from a distinctively Christian perspective. Our objective at NorthStarUK is to encourage students to be aware of major trends and movements within the world, while at the same time being able to critique these and stand solidly on a Christian world view. Our curriculum, however, is used by families from a wide-range of beliefs. In all that we do, we aim to support parents in the task of educating their children. We cannot, however, devise individualised tailor-made study plans nor can we provide detailed guidance about how to undertake home-based education. For those seeking further information about home-based education, we would suggest that you contact the Home Service |
