Graduate With College Credit

Compass students are able to take math and English Language Arts classes for college credit starting in 9th-grade. Our middle school and high school English and mathematics programs focus on mastering core competencies and skills to make sure that students are prepared to succeed in these concurrent enrollment classes (these classes are guaranteed transfer courses from Front Range Community College to any four-year college or university in Colorado) so that students graduate from Compass with college credits and the confidence they need to succeed.

Graduate With Real-World Work Experience

Our Futures Counselor works with all students at Compass explore career interests and aptitudes starting in 6th-grade using a variety of games and surveys and tools. As students gain skills and confidence in their specific interests, we help them find internships or apprenticeships where they can earn high school credit while they get on-the-job training and experience. We know how critical it is to have work experience and to build social capital for future internships and jobs, and research makes clear that students who start college with specific careers in mind are more likely to graduate with a degree.
