Compass

Compass enrichment

The Franklin Square's Compass program was established to better meet our students' needs to develop problem-solving skills through meaningful application and is the first step toward an enrichment-for-all educational model.

The goals of the Compass program are to:

 1) Enrich grade-level content and offer students an opportunity to learn content beyond their grade level  

2) Give students a space to respectfully agree and disagree with one another and to feel comfortable getting answers both correct and incorrect

3) Challenge students to think outside the box when problem-solving and interpreting information

Students meet bi-weekly and work both independently and in small groups to design and build solutions to problems, invest in the stock market, discuss literature and media through Socratic Seminars, conduct research on unfamiliar topics, and more.
