At Compass, social and emotional learning is as important as academic achievement.

We teach to students’ strengths, ensuring academic growth and success with self-advocacy and learning skills, meeting students where they are while propelling them forward.

Our unique teaching model leads to independent thinking and increased self-confidence in each student, preparing them for life after high school.
