Welcome to Northfield

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

to learn to use the powerful and perennial pedagogical tools of the Trivium - grammar, logic and rhetoric
to study the subjects and events of the past and present
in order to understand how ... and believe that ... sound ideas and respectful actions always make a reliable difference in the future.

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 each 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!
