MONDAY ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Monday Academic Program
Monday Classes represent our core academics. Monday Academic Program (MAP) offers academic courses taught by qualified and experienced teachers. For grades 2-12, teachers provide instruction, interactive lessons, discussions, and activities during classtime on Mondays. At home, students complete reading, do writing assignments, and work on projects that are assigned by the teachers. The planning, grading, and structure is provided by the MAP teachers, but parents still fill an essential role as they help their child(ren) throughout the week to work on their assignments. For grades K-1, we offer an all-in-one enrichment day where students will have a great hands-on, learning-filled day featuring science, history, stories, arts & crafts, sharing skills, recess, and other activities.

How it Works
A key component to our choice of materials and curricula is integrated or cross-curricular education. Subjects should not be studied in isolation, but rather connected through all the disciplines. When learning about the great minds of the Renaissance in history class, students may learn about Leonardo da Vinci and Newton's Laws in science. In history, while learning about World War I, high school students may read All Quiet on the Western Front or selections of war poetry while writing an essay analyzing themes of war in literature. At home, children from all grades can talk and share about the interesting things they are learning and build on what each one is doing. Studying the same period of history and the same discipline of science facilities conversations at home as children excitedly share what they have learned and add to their siblings' knowledge.
In order to glean the most benefit from the classes, students will be held to a high standard, and teachers will expect work to be done well and in a timely manner. We utilize Google Classrooms for managing assignments and communication. All students will need to be able to access and use Google Classrooms, whether using their own or a parent's email address.
Highlights of our MAP classes include a Living Wax Museum in the Fall and a Science Fair in the Spring.
On the schedule, classes marked in YELLOW are OPEN to any student joining the class in January.
Classes marked in GREY are CLOSED and cannot be joined by new students mid-year because the class is full or because it is too far along in the curriculum. However, there are extenuating circumstances where we would consider a student joining a closed class (for example: they have already started Algebra I at home and want to join the Algebra I class at Compass). If you would like to be considered for a closed class, please reach out to the administration at admin@compasscommunityathens.com to see if your student would be eligible.
