On the afternoon of Monday, April 8^th, 2024, Great Hearts Northern Oaks students will have the opportunity to experience the total solar eclipse as part of their school day. 

For a few minutes, the skies will darken, and we will be in the path of totality. We are looking forward to experiencing this rare and exciting astrological event together as a Northern Oaks student body.

In preparation for this historic event, we will participate in science lessons that will help our students learn how a solar eclipse occurs and what effects they will witness on the surface of the Earth. Our preparations will culminate in an afternoon of hands-on eclipse activities and the viewing of the total eclipse on the GHNO field.

All students will be provided a pair of certified eclipse-viewing glasses and will be taught how to safely view a solar eclipse. If you and your family would like to learn more about this exciting event, visit NASA’s Eclipse website here. We are excited for your student

to experience the wonders of this astrological event with their GHNO friends.

Be on the lookout for more information as we approach the event.
