In 2019, Compass Community Schools opened it doors to start a new day in education. Compass Community Schools prepares students for college life and lifelong success by focusing on developing the whole child.
Compass Community Schools is a group of six K – 12 tuition-free, public charter schools proudly serving students in predominately low-income neighborhoods.
Compass follows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s ideal of education:
“Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education,” our vision is to provide “true education” within a supportive, joyful, and hopeful school culture to prepare all students to be positive agents of change in our communities.
Who is this for? | Students, Volunteers, Donors
Year Founded | 2019
Number Served | Over 1,400 Students Annually
Every individual is unique with individual learning styles.
Compass embeds four core values across every school: respect, wisdom, courage, and servant leadership.
Service Learning projects allow students to apply knowledge and skills in real-world contexts.
As a charter school, Compass is supported by a federal and state budget. However, this does not fully cover the resources needed to level the learning gap in Memphis.
