What questions are parents asking when considering a school of choice for their scholars? There are a lot of criteria to consider when looking into private, public, and charter schools, including: accreditation, awards, curriculum, culture, transportation costs, tuition, student:teacher ratio, student:counselor ratio, parental support, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), flexibility, and extracurricular activities.
If you are new to charter schools and virtual education, we’re proud to provide this opportunity to demystify the charter school choice. As The Gold Standard for Virtual and Personalized Learning, we at Compass Charter Schools (Compass) welcome you to learn more about our tuition-free public charter schools serving Los Angeles, San Diego, Yolo, and surrounding counties for TK-12.
What is a Charter School?
A charter school is typically the result of a collaborative effort between educators and parents that identifies a community need. Charter schools are publicly funded, and operated independently.
Years before the pandemic, Compass discovered a tremendous need to support parents (whom we lovingly call learning coaches) to provide the best personalized learning for their scholars outside the brick-and-mortar space. With talented accredited educators, caring and motivated counselors, and devoted leadership and staff, Compass exceeds expectations for how education can be taught through personalized virtual learning. We are an award-winning WASC-accredited, AVID-certified, and a Purple Star (military supported) school, preparing 1,000’s of scholars in California for lifelong learning.
How Charter Schools Stand Out
Scholars at charter schools benefit from personalized academic programs tailored to their individual needs. With the freedom to chart one’s own path to success, charter schools are thriving sources of innovation and imagination. Highly qualified teachers flock to charter schools because they have greater flexibility and freedom to teach, or they can do so alongside colleagues who share their enthusiasm and vision.
Compass Charters Schools enable scholars to appreciate the arts, science, and the importance of diversity in ways most traditional schools simply cannot offer:
- 12 years educating outside the brick-and-mortar space
- 100% accredited teachers
- WASC-accredited
- Award-winning Accelerate Curriculum
- Home Study Learning Program Option with a Supervising Teacher
- Online Learning Program with live synchronous classes
- AVID teaching practices school-wide
- In-house Counselors and low student:counselor ratio
- In-house Tutors
- Orange County Learning Center
- Scholar-Led Clubs
- Monthly Field Trips
- Flexible schedules
- Individual Access to Teacher office hours
- Child Actor Support
- Young Athlete Support
- English Learning Support
- Purple Star designated school for Military Families
…and so much more!
