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: What is the total cost per Year?
A: Families share minimal Community Costs to cover supplies, facility use, and shared resources.
Q: What are the Calendar and schedule for the school year?
A: Here is the 2026-2027 Deeply Rooted School Year Calendar for PK-12th grade, meeting 1st & 3rd Fridays from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM at True North’s Castle Rock Location. We also host social gatherings throughout the summer and school year.
Q: Is there ANY work expected outside of community Gatherings?
A: For 3rd grade and above, there may be occasional at-home projects or homework, but it is minimal. All outside work is optional, adaptable, and always at the discretion of parents.
Deeply Rooted exists to enhance—not replace—your current homeschool discipleship. We take a minimalist approach to curriculum and outside assignments.
For high school (9th–12th grade), families may choose between “Lite” or “Credit” class options.
Q: What curriculum do I need to buy?
A: Very little. The Bible is the only required resource.
High school students enrolled in the “Credit” option will have additional materials to purchase and required homework to complete.
Q: WILL this BE DROP OFF or parent participation?
A: Parent participation is required. Deeply Rooted is a highly engaged discipleship community designed to foster strong relationships and keep costs affordable.
Parents participate through volunteer roles such as Class Co-Leads, Class Assistants, Fundraising Committee members, and/or Community Event Planners.
Q: How can I help?
A: We love this question—it reflects the heart of the community we are building under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We look forward to exploring this with you.
Q: What is the minimum age for community gathering participation?
A: Children must be 4 years old by September 1st to actively participate in Community Gatherings. We onboard families year-round, so if your child turns 4 during the school year, they may join if space is available.
Q: Can I bring children under 4 years old?
A: If a parent is teaching during Community Gatherings, younger siblings may attend. Parents will be asked to step out if a child becomes disruptive. Families with younger siblings often coordinate together to share care during gatherings.
Q: If my 4-year-old is not ready to be separated from me, may they stay with me?
A: Yes. We ask that parents remain with their 4-year-old more consistently than with older children, as younger students typically need additional support during Community Gatherings.
Q: What does the schedule look like for parents? Will we be responsible for creating curriculum?
A: No. Lesson plans are provided for all Class Co-Leads. Each class is taught by two Class Co-Leads who partner together throughout the school year.
Q: Do you offer other learning experiences besides Deeply Rooted?
A: Yes! Many. Best place to check is our True North Calendar! We have Educational Track experiences on various days of the week throughout the school year. Many of our Educational Tracks have hybrid and even online learning experiences as well as some in-person classes. Mondays and Fridays are typically reserved more for Field Trips and activity-based clubs.
Q: Where ARE YOU located?
A: Deeply Rooted is located at True North’s Castle Rock Location
Q: Will you be an umbrella school, offering record keeping?
A: No, we partner closely with Christian Home Educators of Colorado (CHEC). A part of Christian Home Educators of Colorado, the CHEC Independent School is an umbrella school that partners with parents across the state of Colorado to provide private education at home. CHEC believes that parents are responsible for the education of their children, and through the Independent School, CHEC helps Colorado parents succeed in that God-given role.
Q: WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY and How can I cancel my registration for the School Year?
A: We have no cancellations after 14 days before your start date. If canceling before then, your refund will be the amount minus credit card processing fee(s). Our Community Costs are annual and once the semester starts, they are non-refundable. Please contact us directly if you need to cancel your registration.
Q: Are you exempt from SB163?
A: Yes. We are not a school nor an umbrella school. We do not accept public funding so we are not included in this newer legislation.
Q: DO you require masks?
A: No. Masks are not required. Feel free to wear one, if ever needed for your family. We respect your personal choice. No temperature checks either. Your health data is your private data. We have a tight illness policy and cleaning procedures in place to: 1) create a healthy learning environment, and 2) minimize exposure, especially during cold and flu season.
Q: What is your privacy statement?
We do not share, sell, or disclose any personal information of students (or families).

Q: IS true north homeschool™ an enrichment option for homeschoolers?
