Founded in 1999, Brilliant Star School is a private non-profit school
serving the needs of children ages 18 months through the elementary
years on the beautiful island of Saipan, United States Commonwealth of
Northern Mariana Islands. Our mission is to provide an environment that
will help children develop four key qualities: global understanding,
service to humanity, exemplary character and a creative mind.
In
August 2001 the school moved to its new one acre campus on Navy Hill.
The campus includes beautifully renovated buildings, for the
Toddler program (18 months - 3 years old), for the Primary programs
(3-6 years old), for the lower Elementary program (6-9 years old), and for the upper Elementary program (9-12 years old).
Brilliant Star School uses an internationally acclaimed curriculum and teaching approach that leads each child to their highest academic potential, and to their fullest development as a human being.
Features of the curriculum include:
- An individualized educational plan for each child designed to discover and develop each child's talents and capabilities
- Active research and discovery resulting in a deep conceptual understanding of subjects and a passion for learning
- Multi-age classrooms allowing teachers and students to act as collaborators in the educational journey, resulting in respect, empathy, compassion and empowerment of students
- A child-centered learning environment leading children to develop the highest levels of initiative and self-motivation.
Brilliant Star School uses experienced teachers trained in the Montessori method to implement the curriculum.
Our goal is to ensure that each child exceeds national and international standards of educational excellence in all subject areas. Children are tested regularly, and the course of study is individualized and adjusted in order to ensure the highest academic standards.
The teachers communicate the child's progress to parents clearly in a way that is meaningful to parents and encourages parental involvement in the child's classroom and education.
