About Compass
Compass High School was founded by parents seeking a unique approach to educating their Neurodiverse children. Since then, we have evolved from a humble two-room schoolhouse to an institution spanning several buildings on the campus of Notre Dame de Namur University. This growth is a testament to our commitment and success in providing a supportive learning environment.
Our program is designed for students who…
Have mild to moderate learning differences
Have language-based reading disabilities that affect decoding, fluency, and comprehension such as dyslexia
Have average or above average cognitive abilities
Have executive function difficulties that may impact reading comprehension, written expression, organization or problem-solving ability
Have mild emotional or attentional difficulties and social skills deficits that do not disrupt classroom learning
