BETTER THAN HOGWARTS:
OUR TRAIN IS REAL, OUR RESULTS ARE MIRACULOUS
Northstar Academy to host Open Caboose event
November 4, 10:30am to 1:30pm in Richmond
Immediate Release (Richmond, October 4) – The start of the school year is a magical time for many children and families. But for families of children with disabilities, new classroom experiences and times of transition often fall short of expectations. Our message to frustrated families is this: Don’t struggle through another school year. Come visit us and secure one of 9 remaining spots for your child or grandchild at Northstar Academy.
Northstar Academy is a private education solution to finding friends in the classroom and long-term success for unique students. Just 9 spots remain for the 2014-2015 school year, so we’re hosting an “Open Caboose” event for prospective students and families on November 4 at the train-themed campus located on Shrader Road in Richmond.
“We are not a school for just Autism, we are not a school for just Aspergers, we take everybody and give them a chance to learn,” says former Northstar parent and current Board Member, Chris Daly.
For scores of graduates and 86 current K-12 students with varying disabilities, Northstar provides a real school experience with a touch of magic. We promise you’ll feel it the moment you walk through the front doors of our caboose!
Media is welcome at this event to conduct interviews with existing students, parents, Board members and staff. If you are a part time superhero, please feel free to use our red phone booth out front to put on your super hero cape. Sharing our story just might save a local family and child from another frustrating school year!
