What makes us different
from other schools?
Quite simply, we're designed to be different.
At Compass Academy Charter School, we don't just teach students, we equip our students to understand themselves as learners through the Let Me Learn Process®. This advanced learning system provides a way for students and teachers to make use of personal learning patterns that empower the learner with confidence in learning anything!
Yes, we teach to the Common Core Standards. But, we also help our students become self directed learners who solve real-world problems and take ownership in one's own learning. Compass Academy Charter School is designed to be different than any other school out there.

Making Sense Day
About once a month, students take a break from their studies to learn about the world around them. Teachers collaborate together to create lessons on topics that range from outer space to inner peace and everywhere in between.
Service Learning Projects
We take pride knowing that our students make a difference - and so do our students! Each grade level chooses a project that benefits the community outside the classroom walls. Students develop an enhanced respect for and appreciation of others with a hands on project that they created together, using their very own Learning Patterns! Pictured here, our fourth grade students made blankets for our local Children's Hospital.
Outdoor Classrooms
Learning doesn't just happen inside the four walls of a classroom! New to our school is our Outdoor Learning Centers. Thanks to a grant from the Compass Academy Education Foundation, outdoor classrooms were built by teachers, staff and local community members. Some of the "classrooms" our students enjoy are the children's garden, a sound garden, a Nature Center, reading & yoga areas and so much more!
Pet Day, Vehicle Day, Clubs & Activities
At Compass Academy Charter School, we involve teachers, parents, and the surrounding community in our students learning. On Pet Day, parents, students, teachers and staff are encouraged to bring in their furry (or not so furry) little friends. On Vehicle Day, we invite our local fire & police department, the armed forces and other community volunteers to showcase vehicles and explain what they do.
Clubs, Activities and Assemblies round out our students' experience. Book Bingo Night, Lego Club, Homework Club and assemblies such as The Funny Farm visit enrich our students' learning experience in engaging, social, interactive and meaningful ways.
