Private Microschool in the Scottsdale Area

True North Academy AZ™ is a private microschool serving Scottsdale and the surrounding areas.
True North Academy is a small private school with small class sizes and only a handful of classrooms. We serve students in upper elementary school (grades 3-5) and middle school (grades 6-8). We have a waitlist for early elementary (K-2nd grade).
Each classroom has a lead teacher that is certified in special education as well as a part-time aide. We offer individualized learning plans (ILPs) in a small class setting. This means that each student has their own learning plan that meets them where they are and goes at their pace. We meet in person and we follow a regular school schedule and yearly calendar. We begin each day with 30 minutes of social-emotional curriculum by practicing mindfulness and learning how to identify and process our emotions.
Every student deserves a good schooling option where they can feel good about themselves and be nurtured not just as a student but as a whole person.
​
If your child has been struggling academically and/or socially or you are curious about how small class sizes and individualized learning can benefit your family please reach out to us.
Many of our students may have hidden or diagnosed disabilities, such as ADHD, ASD, auditory processing disorder, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities, giftedness, and sensory processing sensitivities. Our educational methods work for neurotypical and neurodiverse students, and all are welcome to apply.
