The Compass School

About The Compass School

The Compass School is a private school accredited through the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). We are committed to improving access to high-quality education for students around the world and have had the privilege of teaching students from 14 different countries across 5 continents.

We utilize leading education pedagogy and technology from the United States and abroad to provide a fully customized 1-on-1 K12 virtual school program and academic services to support our students and their families. Our customized 100% live online courses allow us to completely tailor our courses around individual learning needs. Teachers work closely with our students throughout their K12 education pathway, giving them an opportunity to highlight their true capacity and bring forward well-rounded, bright, enthusiastic learners.

Our online classroom has interactive tools the teacher and students can use to simulate a real classroom environment, so it feels like they are working together in-person. This gives students the convenience and flexibility of learning online without sacrificing the experience of in-person learning.

The Compass School offers a wide range of courses including core curriculum, electives, test preparation, and concurrent enrollment undergraduate courses. Unlike most online programs, we offer courses like arts, music, dance, theatre, physical education, in addition to various clubs and extracurricular activities. Our Family Wellness Program curated by the school counselors offers Compass families the support they need on their education journey. Every Compass School teacher is a credentialed U.S. teacher; 95% of our faculty have a Master`s Degree or higher. We are one of the few virtual schools that provide synchronous accredited K12 and undergraduate courses.

Our Mission

At Compass, we strive to equip students with:

• the ability to think creatively and globally.
• the mindset to become adept problem-solvers that would be leaders of the worldcommunity.
• the 21st century collaborative skills by working with peers and teachers from aroundthe world.
• the vision of the potential of diverse avenues toward personal and professionalsuccess and readiness to seize upon the myriad of available opportunities.

Our Core Values

• PERSPECTIVE: We believe that the world is a mixture of varying perspectives-on life and living, on business and culture, on thinking and thought-and our aim is to cast the widest net possible for our students to embrace a broad range of ideas, thoughts, and points of view.
• ADAPTABILITY: A fast-paced, quickly changing global environment means that our students must be equipped to see the changes coming and have the willingness and know-how to adjust to those changes.
• PERSISTENCE: Success and accomplishment are often not achieved on the first try. That`s why we strive to instill resilience in our students when faced with adversity. So if at first, they may fail, they will have the wherewithal to re-evaluate their plan, make adjustments, and try again.
• PASSION: Passion in life creates fulfillment, enjoyment, and is a key ingredient to success. We want ourstudents to be motivated by their passions and achieve success at the highest level, whatever that may be for each of them.
• INTEGRITY: It is our belief that in life, nothing is achieved without sincerity and honesty in every endeavor.We promote academic and personal integrity at its highest value to produce ethically soundstudents who are prepared to lead the world in a positive direction.

With rolling admissions the school's enrollment numbers may fluctuate. They can also include students enrolled in courses through partners.
