What gets graded in the Gold Compass Membership?

Subscribers to our Gold Membership can receive grading for select assignments in any course in the Compass Membership. They can do this for every student in their Family Sharing Dashboard. For more information, send us a note.


Here's how it works:

  • For each course, we selected key assignments (or portions thereof) that should provide an essential snapshot of your student's grasp of the material. The list for each course is below.
  • These are entirely optional. We only grade what your student submits. There are no grade deductions for missing work. Want to focus on just the exam questions and not the lab reports in Biology? No problem—ignore the lab assignments.
  • Submit work on your own timeline. There are no due dates for the assignments—turn in at your own pace!

We've designed the service to be flexible for each homeschooling family. The assignments currently being graded for each course are listed below:
