Educational Excellence

New Star is the place where its students can develop their potential, realize their dreams, and reach for the stars!

Each year, New Star helps many elementary and middle school students with the highest passing rate to enter the gifted and talented programs such as GT and PACE.

As reported in March 2011, another 15 New Star kindergarten students have passed the GT/PACE tests for the 2010-2011 school year.  

Some students simply digested New Star’s academic curriculum without additional test preparation.

Grade K students who passed GT/PACE in 2008-2009. From left to right: Michelle, Teacher Zhou, Lillian, Asim, Emma, Carina, Jessica, Akanksha, Dr. Hattie, Ethan, Matthew, Amy, Angela, Teacher Guo, Kelley, Anica, and Max. Prananv M. is not in the picture.

New Star is located inside Legacy Church in Plano, Texas and offers a safe and nurturing environment where students increase confidence, develop potential, and achieve success. Our highly qualified educators have degrees from B.S., M.S. to Ph.D.
