ABOUT STEM & LOGIC TRACK
What better of a way to learn math, science, logic, computer science and engineering through learning experiences rooted in real-life application!
These subjects don’t have to be feared. Through an encouraging experience of guided discovery, your student will learn math, science, logic, computer science and engineering through bite-sized, interactive learning experiences.
Effective learning is active, not passive. Creating a culture of learning around inquiry, curiosity, excitement and openness to failure is essential.
Quarterly Zoom meet ups and full access to over 110+ courses in math, science, logic, computer science and engineering.
Using a narrative-driven course design, we can cultivate natural curiosity and guide learners to mastery through intuition, not formulas. We also have access to Brilliant’s 1,000s of puzzles which are bite-sized, standalone STEM challenges.
Our learning experiences are ALL non-government funded.

Personal Note from True North Homeschool™ Founder: Courtney Raecker
Our boys have never really liked worksheets, textbooks, etc., but they absolutely LOVE Brilliant because it’s so interactive, easy to understand, motivating, and more real-life learning content oriented. I often find them in the platform learning math, science, logic, computer science and engineering when we aren’t even working on “school time” for the day!
