Welcome to Northfield

SINCE 1993,  teachers and students [ages 11-18] have gathered here as friends in small classes to live Psalm 139:

• nascantur in admiratione — let them be born in wonder

  • learn to use the powerful and perennial pedagogical tools of the Trivium — grammar, logic and rhetoric — [experience wonder]

• crescantur in pietatem et reverentiam — let them grow in duty and reverence

  • study the subjects and events of the past to grasp their calling in the present moment —[assume duty]

  • understand how ... and believe that ... ideas and actions [good or evil] executed in the past and possible in the present always make a difference [for good or evil] in the future — [embrace reverence]

LOCATED a block from Friends University, the Northfield campus is part of a growing neighborhood of autonomous but inter-dependent micro schools [which we call cohorts] where every student can find an educational home - in which to grow - until [s]he is ready to go - into a lifetime of learning.

BEGIN your online visit by learning more about the cohorts and considering which ones might be right for you ... just click the links to their websites on this page.

Then PLAN some in-person visits by contacting a cohort that piques your interest. Take your time and think it thru ... there's certainly something here for you.

We're home ... and you're welcome!

Northfield Academy, led by Shawna Hein, follows a calendar rotation of two deep-dive courses per month in addition to Math and Latin. A unique aspect of the model is to allow Juniors and Seniors who have demonstrated readiness to free up their morning schedule and attend classes at Friends University.
