Why True North?
In many of the books I have read over the years, authors have coined the idea of
following your own star, your gut feeling, your authentic path - your "True North."
It is with that spirit that I have founded True North Creative Learning Center.
As a teacher in the public school system for the past seventeen years, I have come to
appreciate the importance of recognizing the individual. True North is dedicated to
allowing every potential student or teacher the freedom to think creatively and follow
the path that feels right for them. It is a place that can help anyone searching to
find the true direction their life should be heading.
