Kindness that welcomes, academics that inspire, education that nourishes the whole child.

Since 1956, North Star Christian School has been dedicated to providing students with a high-quality, fully-accredited education that prepares them to contribute meaningfully to their community and the world. Located in Hermon, Maine, and serving the greater Bangor area, we offer a comprehensive curriculum for students in first grade through eighth, equipping them with the knowledge, critical thinking skills, and character necessary for success in both academic and life pursuits.

We are a part of the Seventh-day Adventist school system, which is the second largest Christian (and largest Protestant) school system in the world, enrolling nearly two million students in over 150 countries worldwide. This provides us with strong academic support, standards, and curriculum, empowering us to pursue academic excellence in all subjects and disciplines.

Our program strives to keep Jesus the focus of all we do, making the Scriptural truth that “God is love” the foundation of every part of our curriculum. We stress the importance of how special each student is in God’s eyes and look at how each student was created so uniquely. The principles of Jesus, such as love and kindness, are our guides.
