Helping Christian Schools Thrive—One Conversation at a Time
Weekly, faith anchored coaching that turns vision into real-world results.

That’s why True North exists. We come alongside Heads of School, boards, and principals with 45-minute coaching sessions, clear strategic roadmaps, and decades of practical experience—all grounded in prayer and Scripture.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a full strategic plan?
For most K 12 Christian schools, a data driven plan—including surveys, workshops, and a three year roadmap—lands in 8 12 weeks. Larger campuses with multiple campuses or complex programs can run closer to six months, which mirrors timeframes cited across the nonprofit sector for comparable strategic projects.
What does coaching or consulting typically cost?
Independent education consultants nationwide average about $140 per hour, with project packages priced instead of one off calls. True North bundles weekly coaching, board training, and follow up dashboards into flat monthly plans, so you know the investment up front—no surprise invoices.
Do you coach small schools—or only large academies?
We serve campuses from 80 to 800+ students. The framework scales: smaller schools gain clear processes without bloated overhead, while larger systems benefit from deeper data analysis.
Is the work virtual, on site, or both?
Most discovery calls, coaching sessions, and board refreshes run over Zoom, keeping costs low and schedules flexible. When a retreat or accreditation walkthrough needs face to face time, we schedule an on site day.
How do you help boards stay mission focused?
We guide trustees through policy refresh and mission guarding practices recommended by leading Christian board training programs. Tools include a one page duty matrix, a quarterly retreat outline, and a Carver model primer.
Will the strategic plan support our accreditation goals?
Yes. The roadmap aligns with standards set by ACSI, Cognia, and similar bodies, following best practice steps outlined in faith based strategic planning guides. Schools often use our milestone tracker as evidence in accreditation self studies.
