Compass Classes Begin in 1 Week…Will You Be There?

Oh-no! Tomorrow is the start of September! Do you know what you doing for homeschooling this year? Compass classes begin just one week on Wednesday, September 7. Registration is still open! Last minute, same day, and late registrations are accepted when other programs have already “closed their doors!”

If you have some gaps in your curriculum, want your child to try an in-person, small group class or explore a new topic, try Compass this fall! Compass offers enrichment classes for homeschooled students in K-12. We have a great year planned with innovative classes, special events, community programs, academic clubs and contests, and social opportunities. Most classes are just 7 weeks long!
