See How Compass Can Support Your School’s Educational Goals

Here at Compass, our mission is to unlock the potential and power of higher education for every student we work with.

School districts and high schools with the same mission love collaborating with us and bringing us to their community to offer programs for the three key stakeholders in the college admissions process…

Students

Parents

Teachers/Counselors

We support college and career readiness for students, parent engagement in the college process, and professional development for teachers and counselors. 

Our Most Popular Workshops For High Schools Include:

  • The 5 Ways to Make the Most of Junior Year
  • How to Earn Scholarships for College
  • Mindset Shifts to Get In and Get Money For College
  • 9th Grade: Navigating the Transition to High School
  • Parents as Partners in Education
  • Paying for College at Any Income Level

Our professional development curriculum, The Education Doctor® for Schools, is student-centered, based on adolescent, school transition, and college completion research, and informed by ongoing site visits to college campuses.

The program can be customized to fit district budgets, school-wide goals, and/or organizational profiles.
