Building friendships, skills, confidence.
Northern Lights Academy is not a school, rather, an online educational community offering live online classes for children.
We provide a supportive, flexible space where kids build friendships, explore new skills, and grow together. None of us need to be on this journey alone!
Our online classes are intended to be one more tool you can add to your family’s educational toolbox.
Who we are
Healthy community fosters learning
Northern Lights Academy is not a school but rather an online educational community offering live online classes for children.
We support children through a unique mix of social connection, early learning, specialized academy support, and personal growth.
We believe children should have the opportunity to be curious and creative and explore their love for learning in many different ways.
In every interaction with learners, we strive to
- Foster a love of learning,
- Encourage them to become curious about the world around them and
- Feel confident in their abilities and sense of self.
- Provide a space where they feel seen, heard, and respected.
Every child deserves a healthy community. One where they can be genuinely themselves letting their natural strengths and abilities flourish and inner light shine.

What our families say…
An Awesome Learning Community!
“NLA Learning Club has significantly impacted our home learners (aged 4 and 6). They have been a part of the club for over a year, and their relationships with teachers and friends have been truly meaningful. We are so grateful to have found this engaging and enriching program! Ms. Carolyn is THE BEST!”
– Darcie
Grateful!
“My son has been working with NLA on executive function skills for almost three months, and I am floored how much improvement we have seen. The teacher has such great rapport with him, their meetings are filled with laughter and banter. Not only is she is so good at helping him with the skills but also really connects so he looks forward to the time learning. Highly recommend!”
– Josie
Joyful community, with lots of learning opportunities
“The experience at Northern Lights has surpassed our expectations. Miss Carolyn is so delightful and kind and creates a welcoming space for all the kids. Our children have grown so much, learned about numbers and taking turns. I’ve been impressed by how engaged they have been even through a computer screen. Thanks so much!”

Love Lil Learner’s Club!
“My 4 year old and I absolutely love Lil Leaner’s Club. We’ve done many of the classes, all have been great. He’s always learning something new, and is excited to do so. Ms Carolyn does a great job with virtual learning and interacting with each student. It’s nice for him to interact with other kids virtually, this is a skill he’s definitely going to need as he gets older. I cannot recommend this program enough.”
