True North Classical Academy

I have the honor and privilege to work at True North with some of the most genuine, helpful, kind and dedicated staff. At True North, they provide numerous of opportunities to better your craft. From numerous of professional developments of various topics and subjects, to speakers and presentations from people across the country, True North truly goes above and beyond to make sure their teachers have all the tools they need to be at their very best. They also have an instructional coaching program where all teachers are assigned a coach that meets with you for support, guidance and feedback on a regular basis. I am constantly feeling supported and appreciated by my administration and colleagues and genuinely feel they have my best interest at heart. At True North, it is more than a workplace, we are a family.

True North's curriculum is also exceptional and the scholars are exposed to the true, good and beautiful in all subjects. Not only are they given an immense amount of knowledge but another beautiful part about being a teacher at True North is the emphasis and importance the school has on teaching virtues. Being able to instill not only the highest education but life long lessons by teaching virtues, is something I, as an educator, do not take lightly. I would highly recommend True North as a place of employment for anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of children on various levels.

Working at True North Classical Academy has been by far the best teaching experience of my career. I have taught in both public and private settings, and this school truly stands out for its supportive and caring environment.

A typical day at True North is engaging and meaningful. From the moment students arrive, the focus on learning and character development is clear. Every lesson is purposeful, combining rigorous academics with the values we hold dear.

I have learned so much about classical education and how to guide students to think critically, creatively, and morally. The administration is wonderful, caring, supportive, and always ready to encourage. Teachers and staff work together like a family, which creates a warm and collaborative atmosphere that makes each day enjoyable.

Parents and students are incredible to work with. They are respectful, engaged, and supportive of the school’s mission. There are many opportunities to grow professionally, from workshops to collaborative planning, which have helped me continually improve as an educator. I also love the curriculum and everything that True North stands for.

The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing students succeed academically and grow in character, and being part of a community that truly values learning, virtue, and excellence. I feel so grateful to be part of such a wonderful school family.

During my time working at the Early Learning Academy (Galloway location), the biggest issue was the office administration and the environment created by leadership. In my opinion, the office staff contributed heavily to a toxic and unprofessional workplace culture that left many employees feeling unsupported, ignored, and frustrated.

Communication from administration was often poor or nonexistent, and concerns raised by staff did not seem to be handled fairly or consistently. It frequently felt like issues were dismissed instead of addressed. There was also a noticeable lack of accountability within the office, which created tension and low morale among staff.

Another major concern was the disconnect between administration and what was actually happening in classrooms. Staff were expected to handle overwhelming situations with very little support while leadership remained largely uninvolved during the school day. Many employees were stretched beyond their roles, especially in overcrowded classrooms, yet meaningful assistance from the office was lacking.

Based on my experience, the leadership and office culture were the main reasons the work environment became so difficult and why staff turnover appeared to be so high.

Working at True North has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career. The school’s mission—to pursue all that is Good, True, and Beautiful—isn’t just words on paper; it’s something you feel in the culture every day. Leadership genuinely cares about students and staff, creating an environment where people feel supported, valued, and inspired to do their best work.

The team here embraces a growth mindset that mirrors what we want for our students—constantly learning, reflecting, and striving to be better. Faculty and staff care about each other just as much as they care about the students they support, creating a sense of community that makes coming to work deeply fulfilling.

Expectations are high, and you are encouraged to rise to the challenge, knowing you have the trust and support of your colleagues. For those who are passionate about education and committed to personal and professional growth, True North is a truly special place to be.


True North provides a rich, Classical Education that exposes students  to an array of timeless subjects from Pre-K to 12th grade.  The school has invested in timeless, quality school material such as literature, grammar, phonics, handwriting  cursive, etc. starting from Pre-K. The curriculum is vigorous, yet engaging. Teacher instruction and delivery is well planned, thought out, and challenging. 
I can personally attest that the teacher professional development  is incredibly helpful in helping new teachers navigate the Classical Education model.  It is also useful to current teachers like myself to reenergize us for the new year, and assist us in always striving to improve our instruction no matter how long we have taught. The culture of excellence is sincere, and evident amongst my teacher colleagues. We give support to one another, and we receive support as well.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great support from the administration. They teach academic concepts and life experiences for a complete education of the whole child.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The school focuses on humanities and sometimes science looks a bit like an afterthought.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is a great camaraderis among the teacher; however, the culture is a bit individualistic. We do not have any cross-discipline initiatives.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
You are required to be on campus from 7:10am until 3:10pm. the students have 7 periods of 55 minutes with 4 minutes for transition and 30 minutes for lunch (all high schoolers have lunch at the same time). A regular teacher teaches 5 periods a day but may be asked to sub without compensation during their planning periods.

Our school is a place where everyone has the same mission and vision and works together towards the same goal. Our focus is to teach the students to love learning and appreciate the true, good, and beautiful. We focus on teaching virtues that help build character and use a rich, high level curriculum that produces results and student growth as a whole. We are not only a community, but a family, who works together and supports each other to meet the needs of every student. Our school is a positive, enriching environment, and it has been a joy to be part of our community for 8 years. Our community is made up of not only our teachers and administration, but also the parents who love our school and support the teachers and the mission as well. Our TN Pride is strong and keeps growing every year. I would highly recommend others to join our TN family. 

I was at first very excited to begin, especially after being promised many things when hired. Over time though, the working environment steadily became very unfriendly, especially from those in charge.  Many rude comments were said directly towards me and behind my back to colleagues and even parents. You are very much expected to fall in line and do whatever they say with no complaints, or you will be ostracized. Once I told them I wasnt coming back their entire attidude changed towards me. I've seen this happen with many at the school on their way out. Students are sadly treated like numbers and not people and diversity of thought is often discouraged from students and teachers alike. Everyone  there is expected to be a robot. Please don't listen to or trust all of the AI fake reviews!!

As I complete my 10th year as an educator, I have found a school that is aligned with what I always imagined teaching to be. This is a school that is focused on the True, Good, and Beautiful. The curriculum, that includes the classics, provides meaningful discussions that instill a love and excitement for learning. The administration, faculty, and staff are welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. They see potential in their teachers and provide opportunities for them to grow professionally. All teachers and faculty have coaches that work with them to meet individual goals. They celebrate teacher growth and promote a desire to learn and be your best. 

True North focuses on teaching Classical Education Curriculum through rich content, and virtues.  We educate the heart as well as the mind by exemplifying good moral character. There is a great sense of community and teamwork at our school. The administrators and staff members are very supportive. It is wonderful to know we are all working together towards common goals. I have had the opportunity to grow professionally as a teacher, and as an instructional coach. I truly enjoy my daily interactions with students and professionals. It is a blessing to know I am cared for and appreciated here!
