Pricing you can read
A flat monthly rate based on enrollment, from $99 a month with every feature included, plus a one-time setup fee. No per-student billing and no new line item each time you turn something on.
North Star SIS handles enrollment, grades, attendance, and family billing for private schools — without the enterprise contract, the per-module upsell, or the six-month rollout.

Gradebook with weighted categories 
What each teacher sees 
One family login, every child 
Prepaid balances for lunches and trips
Everything the office runs on
Not a gradebook with billing bolted on later. One record per student, shared by every part of the system.
- Enrollment and admissions
- Inquiry through acceptance in one pipeline. Online applications, document checklists, and re-enrollment that does not start from a blank spreadsheet each spring.
- Gradebook
- Weighted categories, standards-based options, and report cards teachers can finish without exporting anything to Excel.
- Attendance
- Homeroom and period attendance, absence reasons, and the state-shaped reports your office actually has to file.
- Family billing
- Tuition plans, fees, and payment schedules. Families can also load money onto a prepaid balance the school draws against for lunch, field trips, and activities.
- Parent portal
- One login per family across every child — grades, attendance, invoices, and account balance, without a separate app per function.
- Configurable to your school
- Grading scales, class periods, school year and term structure, roles and permissions. Set up your year the way your school actually runs it.
Built for schools the big platforms overcharge
Onboarding that ends
The setup fee covers getting your existing data in and your year configured — once, up front, not as an open-ended engagement.
Your data stays yours
Export every record whenever you want, in formats you can actually open. Leaving is not a support ticket.
Common questions
- What is a student information system?
- A student information system (SIS) is the system of record for a school: student and family data, enrollment, schedules, grades, attendance, and often tuition billing. It is the database every other school tool reads from.
- Is North Star SIS a good fit for a small private school?
- That is who it is built for. North Star targets private schools that need real enrollment, grading, attendance, and billing without the implementation timeline and per-module pricing of an enterprise platform.
- Can we move our existing student data over?
- Yes. Student, family, and enrollment records import from spreadsheet exports, which is what most schools can get out of their current system.
