North Shore Academy Elementary offers a mentor program for those students who are interested. The Mentor Program provides these students with an opportunity to spend quality time with a caring and supportive adult. Mentors plan weekly activities that encourage students to accept challenges, identify and develop strengths, as well as pursue meaningful relationships. Mentoring helps students gain skills and confidence to be responsible for their future. To receive more information regarding our mentor program feel free to contact Kyle Thompson.

Student council is comprised of representatives from each classroom and every interested student will get an opportunity to participate in student council throughout the year. Student council meets twice monthly and is organized each quarter by the quadrants of the Circle of Courage.
