Our Classes

Classes offered at Compass are taught by the parents. 

Kindergarten to Middle School

• Chapel
  • Chapel is a required time for our 1^st grade to 6^th grade students to come together in worship through song and study of the word of God.
    • We have playtime available for Kinder and under in classrooms or on the playground.
    • We have a separate chapel (Jr. LIT) for 7^th and 8^th grade students
  • Sometimes we will have ALL family chapel days or announcements at the beginning of chapel.
    • When that happens, the whole family will be required to attend.???????
• JR LIT
  • JR LIT is required for all 7^th and 8^th grade to take.
  • LIT stands for Leadership in Training.
  • This takes the place of recess and chapel. It is a time where they have devotions, small group, team building activities, and more.
  • JR LIT has teen only events throughout the semester.
  • JR LIT has jobs to do throughout the semester such as helping with end of day cleaning, selling snacks at lunch, helping in classes, etc…

• Academic/Core Classes

  • Our academic classes (also known as our "core classes") are offered in the morning for all ages and in the afternoon for highschool.

    • My Father's World

      • Compass uses My Father's World curriculum for the majority of our core classes for 8th grade and under and follows along with the Teacher's Manual for the whole school year.

      • This gives your child a unique opportunity to do some of their weekly lessons in a classroom setting, which in turn lightens the load at home.

      • No homework is assigned for the younger classes.

      • A syllabus will be handed out or posted so that you are able to follow along and know what has been taught from the Teacher's Manual each week.

      • Those not using My Father's World at home may still choose to participate in these classes as a way of supplementing their child's learning.

    • Physical Science/General Science

      • Compass offers these 2 sciences on a rotation to 7th and 8th graders. 

      • There are some prerequisites that must be met in order to sign up for these classes. 

        • Prerequisites will be listed on the class registration page under the class.

• Elective Classes

  • Our elective classes are offered in the afternoon for all ages and will vary each semester.

  • The classes taught are largely dependent on what YOU, the parent, want to teach!

  • Some classes that have been offered in the past are: Legos, Sew Fun, Detective Science, Painting With A Twist, Minecraft, and Science Fair.

  • There are many different options for your child to choose from each semester, and we can't wait for you to see the new classes that have been proposed!

High School Classes

• Compass offers all highschoolers a choice among 2 core classes, 1 elective class, and study hall for both the morning and afternoon sessions.  We run core classes on a 2 year rotation. 

• Elective classes can change each semester depending on what the parents propose.

  • LIT has jobs to do throughout the semester such as helping with end of day cleaning, selling snacks at lunch, helping in classes, etc...

• Study Hall

  • Offered every period for LIT students. (NOT JR LIT)

  • Students in study hall are expected to work independently and quietly.

  • They need to be stationed in the gym and will not be allowed to roam the buildings.

  • The student will need to use headphones if what they are working on has sound.

** ALL classes are grouped by age so your child will only be able to choose classes offered for his/her age group.  We have an age cut off date of October 15 for the school year. (August - July)

**Teachers have the ability to move a child from their class if they do not feel that he/she is ready for academic/core classes. A meeting with the parent and someone from the Leadership Team will occur before this takes place.
