Who We Are
Compass Virtual Academy is an online private school offering an engaging learning experience for every student. Our classes use bite-sized lessons that you maps, graphs, pictures, and illustrations to make the information come alive. We focus on learning to mastery instead of homework and busywork so students have time for career exploration, sports, art, debate, trade school, volunteering and interning with their extra time without homwork.
Head of School
Janine Deems
I’m an Education Strategist, CEO and Founder of Compass Virtual Academy, and a teacher of 25 years. I've spent my career helping students reach their educational goals, but I realized that time and money were barriers that kept many from attaining it. I love applying strategy to education because it gives students more flexibility, more options and opportunities, and a competitive advantage. I believe every student deserves more than a diploma, they deserve direction, purpose, and a future they are excited about.
At Compass Virtual Academy, our students focus on learning instead of busywork saving 4-6 years of time graduating with an accredited bachelor's degree completely debt-free.
This model doesn’t just free students from the traditional grind, it also maximizes their time so they can pursue career exploration, volunteer opportunities, internships, and the life and career skills that actually prepare them for success after graduation.​
I travel throughout the United States speaking about "Rethinking Education" for high school and college and sharing everything students can do during their high school years if we use strategy, innovation, and technology.
