Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at fzarrelli@truenorthk12.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
True North exists for any student in grades Kindergarten through 12th needing respite and/or a temporary alternative to traditional Public or Private school. Typically, the students who attend our program are on home instruction due to a long term leave from school. This program is an alternative to the NYS mandated 10-15 hours of tutoring per week granted to students on home instruction due to a long-term leave/suspension from school and offers 20 hours of comprehensive instruction per week. Students attend school at our facility. Each student is paired with a mentor.
A student's K-12 home school district pays for the cost of tuition and registration. In the event a school district is not able to approve this cost, parents/guardians may pay out of pocket. To inquire about the cost of tuition please click on Contact Us. True North only accepts payment by personal or certified check and does not accept credit cards.
Simply fill out the contact form on this website (click on Contact Us) with your name, student's age, grade and location, and any pertinent information about your specific situation and a True North consultant will call you within 24 hours.
