Welcome to Compass
We are a tutoring service for Christ-centered homeschool families who gather weekly to educate, socialize, and equip the next generation of leaders to fulfill the Great Commission
We offer a wide variety of K-12 classes with enthusiastic tutors teaching from a biblical worldview
NEW SCHEDULE
Below!
Compass is a partial drop-off homeschool community offering over 45 elective & academic classes throughout the school year.
Students attend 1-3 classes during each 5 week long session, and parents commit to volunteering in-class 2-3 times per session.
New Classes include Biking, Robotics, Woodworking, Attributes of God and more!
Beyond our classes, our families love to have fun together. We enjoy field trips, park days, hikes, theater shows, orchestra sing-alongs, family festivals, moms' nights out, moms' retreats, and more all-year long!
How It Works
Community
expectations
-
Families commit to enrolling in a minimum of 3 of the 5 sessions offered.
-
Families are encouraged to enroll in more than one class per session, but it is not required. This helps kids get to know each other better.
-
Parents and students agree to abide by our Statement of Faith, sign our student behavior contract, and read our community policies prior to registration.
-
Families are encouraged to host get togethers outside of community to encourage community all-year-long. We have an active community calendar where families may add meetups and events. We use BAND, a community platform, to communicate.
-
Tuition is non-refundable, non-transferable and will not be prorated for late enrollment.
-
Students enjoy a one-room-schoolhouse type classroom environment to maintain our enrollment numbers.
-
We are a tutoring service, not a school. Parents are the teachers of their children as required by Washington State law.
Tuition
-
Annual New Family Registration Fee: $300
-

Parent involvement
As a partial drop-off program, we rely on parents to support teachers in-class to keep tuition affordable.
We require 2 volunteers per class to assist with set up, take down, clean up and escorting students to the next class as well as safety. This is a great time for parents to get to know each other too!
Based on our anticipated enrollment parents are required to volunteer 2-3 days per session.
The more parents in our community, the fewer days you need to be in-class, so help us spread the word!
