K-8 charter school
Opened in 2002, The Compass School was founded by a group of parents who desired an environment where their children would be challenged to become problem solvers, critical thinkers, and life long learners. Students would learn in an environment that focused on environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
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.
