A huge congratulations to Ben, Sam, Rosie B., Rosie P., and Patrick, as well as their dedicated coach, Monica, for their hard work, teamwork, and enthusiasm throughout the season.
We are so proud of these young innovators for representing World Academy with curiosity, creativity, and NorthStar spirit. Keep exploring, building, and coding! 🚀✨

✨⭐️Olympian. Badger. Champion. Trailblazer…… As you prepare for the next chapter of your hockey journey on DRAFT DAY(!!), we want you to know how proud we are of everything you have accomplished.
From representing Team USA on the 2x Olympic stage to an incredible career at the University of Wisconsin, your dedication, perseverance, and excellence have inspired so many along the way.
When our students watched your ‘Launching Legends’ episode, they didn’t just see an elite athlete, they saw what is possible when talent, hard work, and character come together. Your story has encouraged them to dream bigger, work harder, and believe in themselves…. And that big dreams aren’t silly… they are just plain possible.

Thank you for the inspiration and joy you have created in our community- We will be cheering you on tonight (loudly, and all over NorthStar Nation)! 🏒✨

✨What a wonderful way to celebrate an amazing year in First Grade!
This week, Mrs. Spaulding’s and Mrs. Tucker’s classes marked the end of the school year with a series of themed spirit days, including Game On Day, Picnic with My Peeps, Aloha Day, and today’s sweet finale: Ice Cream Day!
As we reflect on the year, we’re so proud of all that these students have learned and accomplished. From growing as readers, writers, mathematicians, and problem-solvers to building confidence and independence, it has been a year full of growth… but some of the most important lessons can’t be measured on a report card.
Just last night at the 8th Grade Graduation, some graduates and parents reflected on their time in First Grade. One graduate shared that Mrs. Spaulding made 1st Grade SPECTACULAR, while a parent recalled how Mrs. Tucker made 1st Grade JOYFUL.
Seven years later, those memories remain.
That is the power of great teachers. Long after students forget a worksheet, a spelling list, or a math lesson, they remember how their teachers made them feel: seen, valued, encouraged, and loved.
The friendships formed, the sense of belonging created, and the joy of learning together are gifts that last a lifetime.
What a beautiful week to celebrate a year of learning, connection, and unforgettable memories. 💙✨

✨⛵🌊 Seventh Graders Explore Science and History on the Piscataqua River!
Our Seventh Grade students recently embarked on an unforgettable learning adventure aboard a Gundalow sailing barge on the Piscataqua River in Portsmouth, NH. This hands-on field experience brought classroom concepts to life through a unique blend of science, history, and environmental exploration.
While sailing, students learned about the region’s rich maritime heritage, gained practical sailing experience, and conducted water quality investigations measuring salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and turbidity. These activities helped them better understand estuaries, the diverse organisms that inhabit them, and the critical role these ecosystems play in our environment.
Students also explored the water cycle, examined how pollution travels from land to the ocean, and discussed the impact of human activity on marine habitats. Through these real-world connections, they gained a deeper appreciation for environmental stewardship and the importance of protecting our waterways.
With beautiful weather and meaningful hands-on learning, the day was a tremendous success. We are grateful for opportunities that inspire curiosity, foster scientific thinking, and connect students to the world around them! 🌎💙✨
