What is the Gold Standard?

By May 25, 2022 Blog

Most of us understand “The Gold Standard” to mean the best of the best, the utmost prestigious and exemplary level of service. At Compass Online we believe we hold this Gold Standard in Virtual Education, and we are proud to lead the way as we celebrate 10 years as an online charter school!

In addition to establishing our Compass Online Learning Program ten years ago, longer than most tuition-free K-12 public charter schools in California, we uphold high standards for our staff, teachers, learning coaches, and students. Our Firebirds rise up to the challenge because of our innovative and caring approach to education. 

Leading the Way

It’s our mission to serve the whole child, and their parents (whom we respectfully refer to as learning coaches) through our tuition-free online learning program. With accredited teachers, in-house counselors and on-staff special education resources, we don’t outsource much. This high quality focus on our scholars is what motivates us to create, manage, and grow our top notch online public charter schools in San Diego, Yolo and LA. It takes our premier talent and outstanding dedication to provide this Gold Standard for our scholars and families.

Every child at every level through K-12 benefits from their own individual study in our online program. Our scholars achieve their academic success because we personalize our adaptive programs, events, and activities to align with every scholar’s learning style, stage, and trajectory. We are the experts in virtual learning and our commitment to excellence is unwavering. 

“Compass is the Gold Standard in virtual learning because it has excellent learning material and a great support system, and of course, its flexibility helps with pressure and anxiety. In addition, Andrew has an excellent counselor, Kiki Helton, and special education case manager, Elise D’Agostin, who genuinely support his needs,” said the Chouari family.

Offering our scholars the Gold Standard in virtual independent study means we stand united behind the elements of integrity, trust, quality, and value in the operation of our schools. We meet our scholars where they are, design a course of direction based on those needs, and implement an academic program that is relevant and rigorous for today’s growing minds.

“Compass is the Gold Standard in virtual education because the teachers care about the scholars and provide the support they need. They always find ways to improve their teaching through technology, tools, and entertaining virtual sessions. They are committed to the success of the scholars,” said Carrie Talcott, Middle School Teacher.

The Compass Direction

This is just the beginning. Yes, we celebrate 10 Years of the Gold Standard in Virtual Education, and we know we truly mastered what it takes to lead our scholars up through high school graduation and beyond for brilliant futures.

“At Compass, we have always believed in school choice. We continue to collectively build an inclusive virtual, nonclassroom-based, personalized learning public charter school that we can all be proud of – Loud and Proud! Compass’s team is second to none, which is one of the many reasons I believe we are, indeed, the Gold Standard.” – J.J. Lewis, Superintendent & CEO.

We also know that we, as education professionals, continually learn, innovate, and improve as we achieve more every day, month, and year. This is an upward and onward direction for us at Compass Online. Standing still or resting on our laurels is not an option. The sky is the limit, and we’re motivated everyday to lead in this journey. What do you say? Will you join us?
