Venture Project:

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

Remember that one teacher? They made learning fun. They helped you discover who you really are and what you have to give to the world that is uniquely YOU.

They didn’t quite fit into the institutional box, and more importantly, they didn’t try to fit you into any box. Compass is a school designed by those teachers. Compass is a school full of those teachers, surrounded and supported by a community of mentors from business, nonprofit and higher education organizations. That exceptional, life-changing learning experience you had isn’t the exception at Compass; it’s the rule.
