Deeply Rooted FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: is Deeply Rooted a part of True North Homeschool™?
A: Yes. Deeply Rooted launched in 2024–2025 as a Biblical Christian co-op and has since grown into a Biblical discipleship community. We are deeply focused on God’s Word and the gifts and work of the Holy Spirit, with an emphasis on raising up the remnant.
This True North learning experience stands alone or can be paired with other True North tracks and programs. It is open to both Members and Non-Members.
Q: Will this feel like A community?
A: Absolutely. Our goal is deeper connection, not less. Meeting twice monthly allows gatherings to feel intentional and relational rather than rushed or program-driven.
Q: Is this still academic?
A: Deeply Rooted will no longer function as a traditional co-op with weekly classes. Instead, we are focusing on discipleship and family formation.
Q: Will there be opportunities for connection between gatherings?
A: Yes. That’s where “Beyond” comes in — offering rhythms and opportunities for shared life that extend past scheduled meeting days.
Q: What Does IT COST?
A: Nothing is required. Deeply Rooted does not charge any fees. As a shared community, we invite families to participate in voluntary giving during each Community Gathering to help cover minimal operational expenses and support the ongoing life and rhythms of Deeply Rooted. “Beyond” rhythms may have occasional costs that are optional based on participation (e.g. field trip, outings, cost for food at an event, etc.)

Q: Is there ANY work expected outside of community Gatherings?

Deeply Rooted exists to enhance—not replace—your current homeschool discipleship. We take a minimalist approach to curriculum and outside assignments.
Q: What MATERIALS do I need to BRING / buy?
A: Very little. The Bible is the only required resource. We may have additional purchase / rental requirements for Bible / book studies.
