THOUSAND OAKS — Compass Charter Schools (CCS) announced today that it will celebrate its scholars, teachers, and staff during National School Choice Week, which will be held from January 21-27, 2018.
CCS is a virtual independent study charter school serving grades TK-12 with a scholar enrollment of over 1,000. In 2012, CCS began with a small team of educators in Southern California committed to providing a safe, family-centered alternative to the traditional brick and mortar school for scholars throughout the state. While CCS has evolved over the years, the desire to provide excellent educational options has remained strong with our online and homeschool programs. Over the past five years, we have educated the highly gifted, the bullied, the athlete, the actor, the academically-challenged, the chronically ill, and many other scholars who sought a personalized educational experience outside traditional classroom walls.
“Education is all about choices,” shared J.J. Lewis, CCS President & CEO. “CCS believes in choice as well, and has two unique virtual programs for scholars through California to choose from. The Compass Experience is not like the typical online school, and I invite families to learn more about our unique educational experience and consider joining our family, who is committed to scholar success!”
Started in 2011, National School Choice Week (NSCW) is the world’s largest annual education-related celebration. The goal of NSCW, which features participation from tens of thousands of schools and organizations, is to shine a positive spotlight on effective education options for children.
During National School Choice Week, schools across America celebrate the challenging, motivating, and effective education they provide to scholars. At the same time, parents use the week to learn more about the education options available to their children, in advance of the upcoming school year.
“We are grateful to have CCS participate in National School Choice Week 2018,” said Andrew Campanella, NSCW President. “I salute the scholars, teachers, staff and families of CCS for their commitment to raising awareness about educational opportunity. Today’s scholars are tomorrow’s leaders, and it’s up to everyone to ensure that we prepare children for successful, happy, and productive lives. CCS is working to do that.”
National School Choice Week is nonpartisan and nonpolitical, and is not related to any legislative advocacy effort.
