Who We Are
High expectations.
High achievement for all.
No excuses.
Welcome to Northpoint Elementary School in Blaine! We are one of three elementary schools in Spring Lake Park Schools serving grades in preK-4.
Innovative and Personalized Learning
Each student at Northpoint Elementary School is known by name, strength, interest and need, leading to personalized student work and learning experiences.
Focus on Literacy
All elementary students in Spring Lake Park Schools spend 120 minutes each day on reading instruction with 60 minutes in smaller groups focused on specific student needs.
STEM and Real-world Learning
We continue to expand our STEM learning for each student in Spring Lake Park Schools. We are redesigning traditional learning experiences and transforming our classrooms to help our students become creators, designers, inventors, thinkers and leaders.
Career and College Readiness and 12 x 12
We are collectively committed to designing engaging learning experiences that lead to each student earning 12 college credits by the end of 12th grade.
Low Class Sizes
One of our top priorities is to maintain low class sizes. Our class sizes at elementary grade levels are among the lowest in the metro area and among neighboring districts.
State of the Art Facilities
Parts of Northpoint have been redesigned to provide flexible learning environments that allow teachers to meet the varied needs and interests of students.
