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.
In 2010, we started with our Visual Latin video curriculum.
This course covers how economic freedom is directly related to religious freedom.
Dave Raymond applies a Christian worldview to the characters, events, theology, literature, art, and religious beliefs throughout history.
In 2013, we started carrying the video products of Roman Roads Media.
Dwane Thomas of Visual Latin fame stars in a zany show teaching Latin and Greek roots, as well as hundreds of English words.
We launched the first of a new series of products aimed at teaching moms more about homeschooling itself, Homeschool Made Simple.
In Modernity, the follow-up course to American History, Dave Raymond explores world history from 1500 to the present.
We worked with Dr. Del Tackett and over a dozen scientists to create the first feature length documentary exploring the history of the earth from the perspective of Genesis.
Grammar for Writers is designed to help students and writers analyze their own writing, diagnose problems, and write better sentences.
Antiquity and Word Up! Volumes 2 & 3 are added to round out valuable video series in vocabulary and history.
