Mission
Utilizing authentic Montessori methods, the Compass community aims to nurture the whole child
and enrich the life of each student from preschool to twelfth grade.
Vision
Our goal is to foster competent, responsible, and independent citizens who love learning and respect themselves, other people, and their environment.
Values / Belief Statement
Compass will provide appropriate challenges and support to enable each student to prepare for the intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, physical
and societal transitions appropriate to each student’s inner vocation.

Some Critical Take-Aways & Add-Ons
The results from each assessment describe a student’s instructional level, not their mastery of a concept or content area.
When students complete an assessment, they have answered the questions correctly 50% of the time. The data that we receive show us what they know half of, and represents where they are Ready for Instruction Today (RIT).
One’s RIT score is independent of grade level. A RIT of 191 for a 3rd grader is equal to 191 for a 6th grader; that is, we can say that both students are at the same instructional level.
