North Star
Back to Help
North Star is a center for self-directed learners. Kids who choose not to go to school and pursue their own studies come here to learn about an impressive variety of topics. Classes are offered in diverse subjects such as:
- philosophy
- rhetoric
- number theory
- physics
- programming
- history
- tidal pool biology
- crochet
- Shakespeare
- war and peace
- music ensemble
- theater
- botany
- disability and the media
- supreme court cases
- business
- photography
- writing
- art
- and more!
The school is small, with one full time teacher/staff member, a private army of college volunteers, and a host of passionate students.
If you, dear user, would take a moment to think of the children, those plucky little folks, and donate some tax-deductable moolah to a truly wonderful cause, you can help a cutting edge "un-school" survive, and make what was hell for most of us (high school and middle school) heaven for these kids (and eventually more by serving as a model).
