At Compass Midtown, we believe that every student has incredible potential. Our mission is to prepare students for college, career, and lifelong success through academic excellence, character development, and meaningful opportunities that inspire them to lead and serve. Every decision we make is centered on helping our students discover their purpose, develop their talents, and graduate ready to thrive in whatever path they choose.

As a college/university and career-focused high school, our students benefit from rigorous academics, Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment opportunities, Career and Technical Education pathways, leadership experiences, community partnerships, athletics, fine arts, and extracurricular activities that prepare them for success beyond graduation. We are committed to creating a safe, engaging, and supportive learning environment where every student is known, challenged, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.

We also know that student success is built on strong partnerships between school and home. Families play an essential role in a student’s educational journey, and we encourage open communication, active involvement, and collaboration throughout the school year. Together, we can create an environment where students feel supported, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Beyond the Classroom

Compass Midtown offers a structured weekly student Social-Emotional Learning, Value-Based Character Education, and Service Learning structure entitled, " Compass Midtown Houses" that is unique to the students enrolled at Compass Midtown. Students are engaged in weekly group meeting sessions instructed by Compass Midtown faculty that support the whole child and support positive student culture.

Curriculum

Our goal is to equip students with the tools they need for success in college, and beyond. As a charter school, we have the freedom to select a curriculum that allows us to do just that. We utilize Carnegie Math, Study Sync for English and McGraw Hill for Science and Social Studies.

Sports

We believe a world-class education is more than just academics. That is why we make sure extracurricular activities are available to all of our students. We offer volleyball for girls, track & field & cross country for boys & girls, and basketball and soccer for boys.

Our Team

Passion for Teaching

Compass teachers know their content backward and forwards and are passionate about preparing Memphis youth academically and in character for college and lifelong success. Our teachers enjoy and benefit from our intentionally small school settings, which will help them to develop trusting, positive relationships with their students and colleagues.

Service Learning

In the Community

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. Service-learning projects 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.
