Venture Project:

Deep-Field Ecology

Purpose: Rarely are youth given the opportunity to be truly exposed to the environment around them. Most of our lives we are insulated from the environment which we rely on to stay alive. As we continue to create technological advances in our society we continue to push ourselves out of nature in a way that prevents us from making deep connections with the earth and with ourselves.

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.
