wanted to sign my son up for a summer reading course but had to pay to get an assessment. The lady…read moreliterally spent 90 seconds with him and showed him a sheet of words for said "assessment". It was $125 but I had to do that to register and then the class didn't have enough people in it so they cancelled the summer reading course yet wouldn't respond to my emails to refund my assessment fee. This place is only about taking money from homeschooling families and trying to make a profit. Major cringe.

Compass was one of the first groups we found when we started homeschooling 3 years ago, and it…read morecontinues to be something my child looks forward to every week. While most homeschool groups have parents trade off instruction, Compass offers classes taught by professional teachers or experts in the field. From a homeschool orchestra to language study to science and technology classes and cooking, there's really something for just about every interest. I also appreciate that there's some flexibility in enrollment - kids within a range of ages/ grade-levels can be together as their skills and interests permit. And the folks in the administration are busy but always helpful.

We used Art to tutor two of our children for both the SAT and ACT. Our kids always liked working…read morewith him as he was able to find the parts of the test where they needed help and concentrate on that. Art also taught them test taking skills that were very helpful and useful beyond the SAT. We felt his rates were very reasonable and he was always on time. We felt it was so worth it as our children's test scores improved greatly!

Here is another 5 star review. At the risk of being redundant, Art Edwards worked with our son to…read moreimprove his math SAT score through a combination of material mastery and test-taking strategies. Our son did his part, doing practice exams and going over them when they met. We had what we thought was a realistic expectation of how much the score might improve and were pleasantly surprised when he scored higher than we'd hoped and expected. Art is able to explain the material as well as how test questions are designed in ways that our son understood and was able to apply. Both not only helped this score, but certainly will contribute in the future. Highly recommended.

Staff was super helpful and organized. They had four science related activities tailored to the twins interest in dinosaurs and space. Everyone got a chance to participate. Moms and dads were happy because it was educational but the kids were super stoked going from one adventure to the other. Super clean and spacious. First time for us but won't be the last- considering them for our summer camp.

Completely unresponsive! I am extremely interested in booking Andrew for my son's birthday. After…read morefinally reaching him after two weeks initially, I got the pricing information with him. I called back to book and NEVER HEARD FROM HIM! It has been over a month, I left several voicemail messages and a message through his website and Facebook. Extremely rude and unprofessional to be completely ignored since the theme of the party was going to be based on his show!
