TRANSFER PREVIOUSLY EARNED CREDITS TO COMPASS
In accordance with accreditation standards, Compass Outreach and Education Center is committed to accepting up to 75% of transfer credits toward high school graduation. We require an official transcript to be sent directly from the student's previous school to process transfer credits. Obtaining transcripts enables us to review previous accomplishments and place the student in appropriate classes to fulfill graduation requirements. Please note that transcripts cannot come directly from students and must be sent from the previous school.

This is at the discretion of the parents. However, it is recommended that a student taking a full course load spread over a 180-day school year (not counting weekends and holidays) spend 3 to 5 hours a day on the computer. Families can create a homeschool schedule that fits their lifestyle. Our goal is to work in partnership with the family.
