Our School is Designed by Teachers, Students, and Community Partners

Compass’ Mission, Vision, Intended Impact, and Theory of Change

Mission: Our mission is to help students discover learning with purpose; to be authors of the best possible story of their lives and of our collective future.  

Vision: Our local and global community will be made economically and environmentally regenerative through the passion and energy of Compass Community Collaborative School students as positive change makers demanding social justice.

Intended Impact: Our diverse population of students will positively impact the world with a lifelong love of learning, expressive clarity, quantitative ability, conceptual flexibility, emotional intelligence, creative imagination, and social agency.  Students’ families will be inspired by inclusion in their children’s growth and development.  

Theory of Action: Interdependence is the key. When we compartmentalize and separate components of our interdependent world, ecosystems and social systems break down. Compass will support collaborative relationships and value interdependence by using a community-engaged and transdisciplinary curriculum. We are supporting creative, inclusive, and connected families in developing a sustainable and vibrant world.
