Compass Academy: What We're About
Our Mission:
Develop innovative creators
through project- and problem-based learning.
Engage all students
with rich, integrated curriculum
in a community that respects each individual.
Our Pillars:Trust | Respect | Responsibility
Our Aspirations:
- Compass students demonstrate professional work habits--managing time, working productively, and meeting deadlines--so that by the time they graduate, they are ready for the independent responsibilities of college or career life.
- The messaging and branding about Compass Academy is clear and consistent, and the way Compass is seen in the community is something students, parents, and faculty are proud of.
- Our project-design helps students learn to collaborate effectively. (They avoid being coattail riders or dictatorial steamrollers; They see the power of listening to another person’s perspective and collaborating with people with different skills than the ones they have; They divide tasks and take on specialized roles in order to create something together that none of them could create on their own; They follow through on their commitments, not because of a grade but because they don’t want to let their group members down.)
- Student leadership is highly visible and active, and students drive participation and school spirit.
