Compass Classroom

What's in the box: Membership or course purchases unlock streaming video lessons in subjects like history, economics, Latin, science, and music, accessible on the web or in a free app.

Compass Classroom is a Christian homeschool curriculum company built around video courses rather than a shipped box. Families can buy individual courses or join a membership, and subjects include history, science, government, economics, music, Latin, and philosophy and worldview. Every course is taught from an openly Biblical perspective. That is the company's main selling point, so parents who want secular or neutral material should look elsewhere. Most courses are self paced, and you can try sample lessons before committing. The site also offers live courses and regularly adds new titles. A free app lets students watch classes, join groups, and interact with other learners and parents from a tablet or phone. Several featured courses are aimed at high school students, and the catalog can be browsed by subject and grade. There is an ESA section that may interest families in states with education savings accounts, though the site does not explain the details up front. Pricing and membership terms are also not shown on the main page, so expect to click through to compare single courses against a membership. Nothing physical arrives in the mail, so this suits families comfortable with screen based learning and a parent willing to supervise. For Christian homeschoolers wanting ready made video instruction in humanities and worldview subjects, it is worth sampling.
