Description:
North Star supports teens and their families to
use homeschooling as a means to design and
pursue their own learning and their own lives.
North Star is a community center that offers
classes, tutoring, socializing, and connections
to the community for its members. North Star
also provides ongoing counseling and consulting
with its members to assess how the homeschooling
approach is working for each teen and family.
The majority of North Star families are coming
from an unhappy schooling situation and are new
to homeschooling; only a handful of members are
lifelong homeschoolers. North Star maintains a
commitment to work with all interested families
regardless of their financial situations. North
Star's mission is to make homeschooling a viable
and inspiring option for any interested teen in
the Pioneer Valley.
