Compass Classroom started creating educational videos for moms and students in the summer of 2010.
Although our parent company, Compass Cinema, had been creating videos for a while before that first year, we had the idea of starting a company just to cater to homeschool families after watching our own wives homeschool for a few years.
Moms need as much support as they can get homeschooling.
If one video course gives you a little more time to focus on other things, then that makes us happy. Some subjects are generally more difficult to teach than others so we try to make video series that cover those gaps. There are some great teachers out there who just do an incredible job explaining certain subjects.
A lesson on video is not the same as a lecture. We approach each new series with a blank page and try to match form and content in the most pedagogically-effective way.
We launched the first of a new series of products aimed at teaching moms more about homeschooling itself, Homeschool Made Simple.
In this new Lectures series, classes are filmed in front of students then posted online each week. View all 7 products in this format. Learn more about being a part of the Live Classes in Nashville here.
