Compass Classroom is not your typical homeschool curriculum. Designed to support the homeschooling mom, Compass Classroom provides classes per topic. And the best part is, everything is done on video. Bringing the teacher into your kids' "classroom" and actually providing teaching assistance. It's not you the parent actually presenting someone else's lesson.

Compass Classroom offers a VAST amount of lesson topics. Everything from history to Latin help to economics. They really cover all those topics that seem super daunting in a classical or Charlotte Mason based learning plan. 

There are several different ways to purchase the materials. You could just do a subscription and have access to their entire library, or you can purchase access to the specific class you want. The choice is yours! 

Aslo I really need to add this part. With the way these lessons are structured, they would be easy to add to any public school curriculum. It works because the lessons aren't tied into a broader curriculum. These are truly education supplements that can be simply added into any family education rhythm.

Free lessons are offered to let you see if Compass Classroom works for your homeschool. Click the link below to take a look now!

​Classical education is the homeschool style that is probably the least like anything you are going to find from the public school system. There are more and more private schools that are classically based though and they are opening all over the country.

The end goal of this style is to teach students how to become lifelong learners. There is an emphasis placed on seeking after truth, beauty, and goodness. This holistic approach to learning is meant to teach students to be critical thinkers and to develop a deep sense of moral character. 

You teach kids to become this way by teaching them through the tenets of the trivium. The trivium consists of 3 stages: grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric. These are often called the 3 tools of learning. ​
