Compass
Independent School
Compass is a school designed by teachers and researchers to be responsive to the needs of children
For this reason, the child is
the heart of Compass


Compass values each child’s learning journey
We appreciate the uniqueness of each child’s path and
prioritise the journey, not the destination
Navigate the Journey
Compass prioritises children having time to inquire, play, create and collaborate as essential endeavours for learning and development
These four compass points are used to navigate our program of learning
