To attract and retain diverse staff whose competence,compassion, and commitment are evident in our client-centered approach through interdisciplinary teamwork.
To employ a range of teaching methods centered on students' distinctive learning styles.
To provide challenging, individualized curriculum and instruction that addresses the academic, behavioral and emotional needs of our students.

With our history of achievement as educational providers, COMPASS has the resources to ensure the appropriate educational, pre-vocational, clinical, and advocacy services for students in need of our services.

Special Programs
The COMPASS School integrates its Violence Prevention Program into its curriculum, culminating in Violence Prevention Day every June. The school also offers specialized vocational training such as our Culinary Arts Program, and a Building Maintenance and Repair Program. Enrichment programs include: Music, Art and Sports Programs, and a Remote Control Car Program.

Box Tops for Education
Boxtop Cereals

The COMPASS School participates in the Box Tops for Education program. To help us earn money, simply cut out box tops on marked boxes, and send them in. Each box top equals 10 cents that goes directly to supplies, activities, and field trips for the students. We are hoping to collect 1,000 Box Tops by the December deadline. If you have any questions, please contact Kristin Bono (x318) or Candice Fiorini (x329).

Supporters can also earn money for COMPASS by shopping at participating online stores.
