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.
Here’s some of the answers to our most commonly asked questions. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Try contacting us.

Compass has offered digital products for individual sale for several years. The streaming format is a convenient way to access courses on multiple devices. The Compass Membership is a subscription service which gathers all of our digital products into a single recurring charge. Families have the flexibility to use multiple courses—in whole or in part—for each child during the school year.
Yes, we regularly release new products to increase the value of your Compass Membership. Some of our recent products include Calculus for Everyone, Strange New World, Philosophy: Consequences of Ideas, Creation Science, and The Story of Great Music.
These products were all added without directly increasing the subscription price. Compass Classroom reserves the right to periodically increase the going rate to new customers, but existing subscribers enjoy all the new benefits at the same rate as when they signed up.
All our digital products are included in your Compass Membership. We also sell some courses exclusively for our partners—Western Culture, Introductory & Intermediate Logic, and Fitting Words. These are not available in the Compass Membership.
Our BRONZE Membership trial gives everyone access to our popular courses from master teachers. The SILVER and GOLD Memberships offer additional services that support students and families homeschooling those courses.
We think Course Facilitation, Family Access, and Grading will be blessings to your homeschool. If you aren’t completely satisfied, however, you may contact us within your first month of a new Membership tier and we will be happy to cancel the subscription and refund your upgrade cost. We are unable to issue refunds beyond that first month because the costs of those services are ongoing.
No. As long as you maintain an active subscription, you will receive the Compass Membership at the price advertised when purchased. If you cancel your subscription and wish to access the content again, you will need to purchase a Compass Membership at the current price.
No, but you may find value in subscribing to the Course Facilitation and Grading services in the Compass Membership to go along with your existing DVD or digital product.
BRONZE subscriptions are licensed only to a single student. SILVER and GOLD Memberships provide our Family Access feature that grants licenses to an additional 4 members of your household.
If you are leading a co-op or tutorial and plan to use one of the courses in your Compass Membership, we ask that all participating families purchase the course, either through their own Compass Membership, or as a standalone DVD or digital purchase. We make this easy with generous group, co-op and school discounts. Visit our Group & Co-op discount page for more information.
Yes, our SILVER and GOLD Memberships offer four student accounts! These enable your kids to track their progress separately. Just invite them from your Family Sharing Dashboard and assign the courses you’d like them to use.
Facilitation takes place in groups related to each course. SILVER and GOLD Memberships can join these groups here. Once our team sets up access, you will see them in My Groups, along with schedules, directions for joining discussions, and more resources.
Grading is accessible in groups related to each course at GOLD level. Once our team sets up access, you will see them in the My Groups tab, along with schedules, directions for joining discussions, and more resources. Written directions for submitting work and viewing posted grades will be provided by the group facilitator.

You will no longer have access to the Membership content or services at the end of that billing period.
Subscriptions differ from their digital counterparts in how you pay for them. Rather than pay the entire product price on the day of purchase, you pay the recurring monthly charge as advertised. Digital describes content, and subscription describes the payment method.
Absolutely! We plan to regularly release new products to increase the value of our Membership. In fact, just this year we’ve added Antiquity, Word Up! Volume 2, Word Up! Volume 3, seven Lectures products (Middle School Literature, American Literature, World & British Literature, General Science, Physical Science, Spanish Grammar, Understanding the Old Testament), and Creative Writing with Jonathan Rogers.
These products were all added without directly increasing the subscription price. Compass Classroom reserves the right to periodically increase the going rate to new customers, but existing subscribers enjoy all the new benefits at the same rate as when they signed up.
Not yet, but we plan to make regular increases in our catalog. New products will be developed with a subscription model in mind. The Compass Classroom Membership provides access to most of our subscription catalog in one product.
No. As long as you maintain an active subscription, you will receive the subscription product at the price posted when purchased. If you cancel your subscription and wish to access the content again, you will need to purchase a subscription at the current price.
No. We’re not providing any disruption to our valued customers. We’re simply providing an affordable way to integrate some of our other products into your homeschool.
You may, however, find value in purchasing a subscription in addition to your physical or downloadable product. Subscription products are as mobile as your Internet-ready devices. Going on a trip as part of your American History study? Take your phone or tablet and leave the DVDs at home!
Subscriptions are licensed to a single family. In other words, use your Compass Classroom Membership subscription for all of the children in your household! All 32+ courses and 1100+ videos are available to your family members at a single monthly price.
If you are leading a coop or tutorial and plan to use one of our subscription courses, we ask that all participating families purchase a subscription to the course used in the tutorial. If the tutorial is using American History, then participating families may either purchase the single American History subscription or the Compass Classroom Membership which contains American History and many other courses.
