At True North Academy, we understand that you want the best for your child. You may be homeschooling to avoid peer pressure, to uphold your family’s values, or to provide a safer learning environment. We use a special teaching method called the SAMR Model to help your child learn and grow during this important time in history known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
What Is the SAMR Model?
The SAMR Model is a way of using technology to make learning better and more engaging. It has four steps:
- Substitution: Using technology to do the same tasks as before, like reading an ebook instead of a paper book.
- Augmentation: Adding features to make tasks easier or more fun, like using spell-check while writing.
- Modification: Changing tasks so they are done in new ways, like creating a slideshow instead of a written report.
- Redefinition: Doing things that weren’t possible before, like collaborating with students from other countries online.
Why Is This Good for Your Child?
- Prepares for the Future: Technology is everywhere. By learning with the SAMR Model, your child will be ready for jobs and opportunities that use technology.
- Safe Learning Environment: Your child learns from home, away from negative peer pressure, while still connecting with teachers and classmates in positive ways.
- Supports Your Values: We respect your family’s beliefs. Our lessons can include and honor your religious convictions.
- Engaging Lessons: Technology makes learning fun and interactive, which helps your child stay interested and motivated.

- Personalized Learning: We can adjust lessons to fit your child’s needs, helping them learn at their own pace.
