True North Classical Academy offers its students the highest level of education in the classical tradition. True North is the first Classical school to open in Miami and it follows a growing number of charter and public classical schools around the country that are frequently found on the lists of the best schools in America. True North allows students to receive the same superior academic experience in a free public school charter that previously was only available in expensive, exclusive private schools.
The classical tradition views education in a holistic way. It advances the intellect by holding students to rigorous academic standards while also instructing their moral character. It delivers the best content and wisdom of the western canon through a process that recognizes child development and learning.
Aristotle said that “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, in not an act, but a habit.” His basic insight here is that all humans have the capacity for excellence through repeated action. True North’s goal is to develop excellence of intellect and character in our students so they go forth with hearts of integrity, courage, and conviction.
True North’s curriculum and academic content is intentionally and systematically structured to produce graduates who will be:
- Courageous Leaders
- Virtuous Citizens
- Critical Thinkers
- Confident Speakers
- Competent Writers
