Compass Charter Schools’ Online Learning Program (Compass Online) celebrates over 10 years of teaching online to grades K-12. Compass Online has been practicing the Gold Standard in Virtual Education for many years before the pandemic forced brick-and-mortar schools to hop onto virtual platforms for emergency remote learning. Does this matter? We think it does. Here’s why trusting an online learning program with long-standing success benefits the academic success of scholars.
Collaboration and Support for Every Scholar
Compass Online is a free public charter school for grades K-12 in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Yolo counties, serving scholars who reside in 18 counties in northern and southern California. With over ten years of expertise in virtual education, we understand what it takes to fully engage and support our scholars. This is not a new concept or infrastructure for us. We are the experts! Our mission is to inspire and develop innovative, creative, self-directed learners, one scholar at a time. Over these past ten years, we have hired the most talented accredited teachers and motivated staff to carry out this mission.

Our rigorous online program uses an award-winning curriculum customized to personalized learning. Our experienced credentialed teachers host engaging live learning labs and one-on-one small group instructional sessions weekly. They also post recordings of these classes along with their office hours to ensure each scholar is empowered to advocate for themselves, adopt flexibility, and get all the individual attention and support necessary to succeed. Together we provide unparalleled attention to the learning coaches and scholars for the ultimate, personalized learning experience.
Practice Makes Performance
Experienced online educators understand how to practice personalized learning for every scholar at every level. We ensure each scholar feels welcomed and embraced. With over ten years of experience customizing a highly-intuitive curriculum, we meet scholars where they are and help them grow individually into proud Firebirds.

Our academic staff is also supplemented with Special Education, in-house caring counselors, and much more to ensure whole scholar support. Parents, whom we are proud to call learning coaches, tell us that our expertise in virtual education supported them to be the best learning coach they can be, as well as helped their scholars rise and soar. Our excellence is commended by institutions and other organizations, and our Compass Online staff utilizes research-based best practices known as AVID strategies school-wide. These enhancements improve study habits, effective communication skills, and teamwork.
Social Engagement
We understand humans are social creatures who need connection. Our scholars have no trouble engaging and socializing with other Firebirds since we have a long-standing tradition of providing exciting field trips, fostering quality Scholar-Led Clubs, and offering Virtual Scholar Workshops. Some of our Firebirds communicate to the entire Compass Online family via The Firebird Report. We believe these opportunities allow scholars to learn by doing and that we are developing scholars into innovative leaders and creative citizens.
Our Online Learning Program is the Gold Standard in Virtual Education. For over ten years, we have been helping our K-12 online learners realize academic goals and life dreams. Before the pandemic forced other schools online, our scholars thrived with our well-established academics and caring, accredited teachers and staff. Our scholars build a healthy camaraderie with classmates inside an intellectually rigorous environment that encourages innovation and self-direction. We rise up and soar as proud Firebirds.
