In 2012, Compass Charter Schools (CCS) began with a small team of educators in southern California committed to providing a safe, family-centered alternative to the traditional brick and mortar school for scholars throughout the state. While CCS has evolved over the years, the desire to provide excellent educational options has remained strong with our online and home school programs. Over the past five years, we have educated the highly gifted, the bullied, the athlete, the actor, the academically-challenged, the chronically ill, and many other scholars who sought a personalized educational experience outside traditional classroom walls. Today we work diligently to grow our learning community with families, scholars and staff who value each other and exemplify respect, kindness, teamwork and open communication. We believe in running a school built on integrity and ethical decision-making. We nurture those who have been wounded in some way by the traditional school setting, those not able to find flexible academic programs to fit their needs, and those in need of guidance as they tread on unfamiliar ground as homeschoolers. CCS truly cares about our scholars and is not only dedicated to their academic success but to their social and emotional development. Whatever the reason behind our scholars’ enrollment in Compass Charter Schools, we are here to provide an environment where our scholars can feel safe and inspired to develop into confident, innovative, creative, self-directed scholars. Our scholars find success here at Compass Charter Schools because they have the support of a dedicated staff and their loving families. It is a privilege that each and every day we get to help our scholars charter their educational future. We are loud and proud about making a difference in the lives of our scholars!
