Needs
Support Compass' Growing Community
Compass started with 43 students in 2023 and we have 102 students this fall. The campus is expanding and the School launched the True North Capital Campaign. Your support will go directly to the School's operational expenses and curricular needs to advance the mission and vision. Some of our priority areas include:
Financial Literacy: This is an important life skill that we teach our students. Math provides a foundation essential to innovation and Compass provides a multi-disciplinary approach to learning math.
STEM Curriculum: Our campus is a living lab that students use to explore as they apply scientific reasoning to the natural world.
Farm-to-Table, Health, and Wellness Programs: Students plant, harvest and cook healthy foods that offer quality nutrition that helps them focus better in and outside of the classrooms. We have an annual Farmer's Market and provide handmade products for our community members.
Fireside Chats: Compass is dedicated to empowering community members through education and raising awareness about essential programs and concepts for which we passionately advocate. We focus on crucial topics such as brain development, Compass' core values: community, family, leadership, purpose and resilience, as well as the transformative power of education, and the importance of being a lifelong learner.
