North Star Academy took time, Dec. 6, to honour the man who turned the school from a dream into reality.<\/p>\n

The school presented its Founder\u2019s Award to Norbert Pinto, during its awards ceremony, Friday evening, for making it possible to open the school in 2007.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we established the school, we needed pedagogical direction,\u201d North Star principal Jos\u00e9e P\u00e9pin told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview. \u201cHe had been an exceptional science teacher in public schools here for 36 years, and gave us the insight into how to form a community-oriented school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t stop at teaching,\u201d she added. \u201cHe was involved in many extracurricular activities, like trips to Europe and sports, and stayed very late every day. He was extraordinarily dedicated to the vocation of teaching. He always said \u2018A teacher arrives early and leaves late.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, demand for the private high school\u2019s services is so strong that North Star plans to add a grade 5 and 6 elementary school stream next year, P\u00e9pin said. The school currently teaches about 130 high school students.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur philosophy is \u2018Your child, their goals, our priority,\u201d she explained. \u201cThat\u2019s how we accept children. Some are athletes who need time off, others have dyslexia and some are extremely high achievers. It\u2019s all about your child and what they need and want. It\u2019s very individual.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe demand for that approach is even higher at the elementary school level,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n
