Compass Academy is a District 303 high school of choice that opened in the fall of 2021 at the Haines Center. Key features of the academy include experiential learning, allowing students to explore career pathways; flexible scheduling; project-based learning; interdisciplinary courses; and competency-based education. The competency-based model removes the constraints of "seat time" and empowers student-driven learning inside and outside the classroom. This approach allows students to earn credit toward graduation requirements in ways other than traditional coursework, incorporates real-world knowledge and challenges, and allows students to attain career-related competencies.
