About The Compass School

Description provided by the district or community — not part of the NCES dataset.

The Compass School is a small learning community in which all children can excel. Our practices are developmentally appropriate, and we offer children a continuous, multiyear educational experience. An integrated, project based curriculum provides the foundation to develop each individual as a cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and reflective being. Our strength is gathered through reciprocal relationships among all members of the learning community. Students graduate knowing they are members of a global community, having developed an awareness of and practiced their personal, social and ecological responsibility.
