Mission Statement

Our desire is to unite families through a Christian worldview to nurture and empower children to be life-long learners who always seek God first.

true north's Vision Statement

We are a Christ-centered co-op which strives to encourage like-minded families to develop community focused on enriching their learning opportunities and relationships through classes, field trips, play dates, holiday celebrations, and experiencing life together. We aspire to mentor the next generation to be successful, courageous, and intentionally living through Christ.

Classes we’ve offered in the past are science, robotics, music, art, cooking, drama, steam, gardening, food education, PE & American Girl history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@truenorthhomeschool.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Where are we located?

Arcadia, Indiana in Hamilton County

Is this a drop-off?

This is not a drop off co-op. Part of building our community isn’t just for the children to form relationships, but the parents as well. Each adult is assigned a specific job to help during the co-op time.

Parents are not required to teach a class. Our teachers are parent volunteers, and we are always looking for more parents to be willing to step into the role of teaching. Parents are an integral part of the classroom whereby they assist teachers with the students. Each teacher has different needs, but some of the jobs might be helping with supplies, addressing behavioral concerns, assisting students problem solve with a project or helping with bathroom breaks/first-aid needs. Parents are asked that they are OFF their phones during class time and play an active role in helping the teachers provide the best teaching environment for the students in attendance.

What ages are the kids who attend?

We have classrooms available for all kids from birth through 13 years old.

What does a typical class day look like?

We meet on Wednesdays

9:10am – Families can begin arriving
9:30am – Meet in Sanctuary for Announcements, Pledge, and Prayer
9:45am-11 am – First Hour Classes

How do I register?

Our classes are currently full, but please email us at info@truenorthhomeschool.net to be placed on the waitlist fot next semester.

How long is a session?

Our year is broken up into two, 12-week semesters. We take off weeks for Thanksgiving, spring break and one field trip each session. Your child will attend the same two classes for the entire twelve week session.

What else do I need to know?

Since we are an "all hands on deck" co-op and in an effort to keep costs down, we have a rotating cleaning schedule. Once you are registered for classes there will be further information about what that entails and a link to sign up for your cleaning shifts. Responsibilities will be vacuuming, emptying trash cans, clean bathrooms, wipe down tables, etc.

Additionally, background checks are required for every adult who attends classes with your children. One background check is included in your new family $40 registration fee & each additional background check will be a $10 fee.

Ok, what’s this going to cost me?

Tuition is $175 per family per semester with a $60 registration fee for a new family. The $60 registration fee also includes one background check for the adult who will be attending classes with their children. If additional people might be attending with children, a fee of $10 will be collected to run their background check ahead of time.
