WELCOME TO OUR HYBRID VIRTUAL MIDDLE
AND HIGH SCHOOL
Our virtual school stands apart by blending in-person enrichment with a strong academic foundation—giving students a truly well-rounded, engaging learning experience. From the start, our Compass families benefit from monthly drop-in enrichment workshops that foster creativity, collaboration, and real-world skills. These hands-on sessions explore areas like STEM, art, public speaking, financial literacy, poetry, entrepreneurship, digital design, and more—supporting both academic growth and social development.
Beyond enrichment, we provide layers of personalized support, including academic coaching, project-based learning opportunities, and tools that nurture confidence and independence in every student.
Compass is nationally accredited by Cognia and offers a full suite of NCAA-approved, standards-aligned courses, ensuring students stay on track for graduation and post-secondary success.

Students who are at risk of dropping out
​
​How many hours will my child commit daily to remain on track?
This is at the discretion of the parents. However, it is recommended that a student taking a full course load spread over a 180-day school year (not counting weekends and holidays) spend 3 to 5 hours a day on the computer. Families can create a homeschool schedule that fits their lifestyle. Our goal is to work in partnership with the family. Families should log in to the school's single sign-on portal to have attendance recorded.

Is there an opportunity to participate in a high school graduation ceremony?
