Your Mission

Redefine what's possible in public education. It is your primary responsibility to prepare all students with the academic and social skills necessary to persist and engage productively in their communities. However, learning does not stop in the classroom. At Compass Rose, we engage with the community regularly, asking families what they want to see from their graduates, listening to them, and taking their wishes seriously, and we use the information we learn to shape our schools.

Our goal is to always align our program with the desires of our community. To this end, you teach:

• A set of college-bound, academically and culturally relevant skills that prepare students to be successful in college and the competitive world beyond.
• A set of social/emotional skills related to how we treat one another, work as a team, and coach ourselves to work through the challenges we face.
