Educational Excellence

 

New Star is the place where its students can develop their potential, realize their dreams, and reach for the stars! 

 

Each year, New Star helps many elementary and

middle school students with the highest passing

rate to enter the gifted and talented programs such

as GT and PACE. 

 

As reported by March 2010, another 15 New Star kindergarten

students have passed the GT/PACE tests in 2009-2010 

school year.

 

Some students simply digested New Star’s academic curriculum without additional test preparation.

New Star Standards

 

New Star's educational curriculum is carefully designed and periodically updated by Dr. Hattie considering children's development and needs.  New Star's curriculum has set the standards that other schools often follow. 

 

After comparing with various schools, parents 
say that they have found the finest educational programs for
their children at New Star.  
 
 
"Dear Dr. Hattie, 

Since Jett and Darren joined New Star, they have had
a good time there.  In the mean time, we are very impressed and appreciate that New Star helped both of them pass the PACE test this year.”
