A Specialized Education for Complex Learners.

Located in Belmont, Compass High School is a college preparatory program designed for students with

• Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, 2E, and Anxiety
• mild to moderate learning differences
• average or above average cognitive abilities 
• mild emotional or attentional difficulties and social skills deficits 
• executive functions difficulties

Compass High School was founded by a group of parents who were looking for a school that could work with their students in a different way. A school that created a safe, nurturing environment while challenging students at the same time. A school that saw the humanness in every student and family. A school flexible enough to build around students’ strengths while supporting learning challenges. 

We explicitly teach learning skills fostering confidence so students can take risks. We teach resilience so students can bounce back from mistakes. We inspire true independence so students can learn and grow their entire life. Our faculty are dedicated to unlocking the potential of every student. We partner with parents and families to make sure we capture the duality of our students’ learning experience both at school and at home. We know every student learns differently and that teaching should be as focused on strengths as it is on challenges. 

At Compass, we believe that all students learn differently. Our approach to teaching embraces each student's individualized journey to mastery. Explore our website and please feel free to reach out to learn what makes Compass High School a collaborative, supportive, and academically challenging program for students that learn differently. We are excited to explore how your student could thrive here.
