North Star supports teens and families to use self-directed learning as an alternative to school. As you look to find a microschool that meets your family’s needs, we encourage you to reach out to us!

North Star offers classes, tutorials, advisories, and a social community for its members, most of whom are leaving school with North Star’s support.

North Star teens are individuals moving forward in unique directions at a pace that is right for them. North Star is not a school, but a hybrid with aspects of homeschooling and school, and does not offer diplomas, credits, or grades. Since 1996, we have provided an alternative to school where teens learn in the way that suits them best.

We are located in beautiful Sunderland, Massachusetts.
