"At The Compass School, we are teaching life skills and inspiring students to be creative and confident leaders of tomorrow." - Shelly Sender, Head of School
The Compass School of Texas is a private school located in the heart of Dallas, TX, offering enrollment in Pre-K through 5th grade for the fall of 2026. Adding a grade each year, Compass will be a Pre-K through 8th grade school by the year 2029. This co-ed independent school offers small classes that are designed to engage young children in real-world simulations to develop fine motor skills, financial literacy skills, and emotional intelligence, while inspiring creativity through a holistic curriculum.
