Testimonials

February 2011 - Murder Mystery on the Petulant Express.

"Congratulations to all concerned, Karen. What a project-and-a-half that was! You had it working on all levels: theatrical, culinary, administrative. It was a wonder to behold. Kathy and I (and John and Denise and everyone else at our table) had a terrific time, start to finish. Thanks for a great evening!"

"Just want you to know, Dave, that last evening (Graduation) was the most inspiring, most affirming event I’ve been to in many moons. Words fail. My grin muscles are fatigued this morning. And when I wasn’t smiling during the ceremony, I was near tears. Start to finish, the whole gig was just simply top-notch."

Dr. Phil Anderson

"This school will be a tremendous asset to this community."

Katie, Grade 8

"Attending NLCS has changed my life a lot... the teachers and advisors understand that kids learn and do schoolwork at different paces. I am almost positive that NLCS could change a person's mind about how fun and interesting school can be."

Austin, Grade 7

"I would encourage a friend to come to this school because it is different than any school I have attended. There are three things I really like about this school: physical recreation time, taking trips and the learning environment."

Nate, Grade 9

"I am excited to be one of the students involved in the first year at Northern Lights because it has changed my life. Classes are smaller and advisors are very supportive. I am not being compared to my brother and sister who succeeded in their own ways."
