The Compass Way

A new day in education.

At Compass Community Schools, our mission is to prepare students for college and lifelong success by developing the whole child through a focus on academic excellence, values-based character education, and service learning in the community. This past year Compass has reached many milestones. For the first time since we opened our doors in 2019, we see the effects of a full year of learning as evident through our TVAAS scores. According to the State of Tennessee, two Compass Schools scored a TVAAS of 4, and four Compass Schools scored a TVAAS of 5, which is the highest distinction based on TVAAS composite scores. Additionally, two Compass Community Schools also earned the esteemed designation of Reward schools by the State of Tennessee. Reward schools are schools that improve overall student academic achievement and growth for all student groups. The Reward designation is the highest honor schools can earn when evaluated via the state’s accountability model. This significant growth means our students are rebounding from the negative impacts of the pandemic, our teachers are effectively helping students to reach academic goals, and our curriculum plan is getting results.

Compass Pillars

Academic Excellence

We implement rigorous, standards-based curricula to achieve academic excellence and ensure that every student realizes his/her fullest academic potential. However, we realize that every learner is unique and will come to us with individual learning styles and diverse learning needs.

Character Development

We will embed four core values across every facet of our schools: respect, wisdom, courage, and servant leadership. However, it is not enough to simply talk about our values. That is why we implement a curriculum that explicitly teaches our core values and the social-emotional competencies needed to develop the skills and tools necessary to truly internalize and demonstrate them.

Service Learning

Service-learning projects will provide students with opportunities to apply newly learned knowledge and skills in real-world contexts, further cementing their understanding and giving their academic learning relevant purposes. Service learning serves as the intersection of our academic excellence and values-based character education pillars—bringing content, concepts, and skills gleaned from both to life through hands-on, tangible experiences.

Support Compass

As a charter school, each student is supported by state and federal funding. While this funding is significant, it does not cover the cost of educating a child or extras such as intervention, tutoring, or support personnel. Consider partnering with us to bring the dream of a “world-class” education to students in Memphis.
