Join A Family of LearnersNavigate students join a family of learners where everyone belongs. The COMPASS program is a two day face to face learning program that off ers a balance of independent learning, social interaction, and an interface of technology that maintains a personal connection.

Day 1 provides students with an opportunity for social interaction with their peers, connection with their teacher, and instruction that’s focused on core competencies in communications, language arts, numeracy, social studies and science.

Day 2 provides a focus on experiential learning in the community centred around three themes: the fi ne arts, new technologies, and place-based learning.

Learning NaturallyThe primary goal of the COMPASS program is to build personalized learning experiences for every child. An initial discovery process identifi es each child’s “sparks”, which are the topics and learning styles that hold their attention, animate their interest, and provide deeper meaning to their lives.

Through a personalized Student Learning Plan (SLP), the parents, teacher and student develop a learning relationship that applies these sparks to core and experiential learning activities. Parents are co-facilitators in a home learning environment and support access to resources and community opportunities. Teachers provide student reviews, arranged at regular intervals to document progress, as required by the Ministry of Education.
