ABOUT COMPASS ROSE PUBLIC SCHOOLS:

WHO ARE WE:

Compass Rose Academy is a growing public-school network located throughout San Antonio and Austin, Texas. We use a highly rigorous core content curriculum that challenges students' thinking and prepares them for college. We believe that every child has an idea inside of them that can impact their community and the world beyond it in a positive way. We've created an entrepreneurship curriculum to help prepare them for life and the quickly diversifying workforce. 

Compass Rose teachers are passionate innovators. They believe in the power of an excellent education to change the lives of students, and they desperately want to build a game-changing school that redefines public education in the city of San Antonio, the state of Texas, and across the country. They know how critically important it is to develop a classroom culture that drives student achievement and personal growth for each individual child. Compass Rose teachers will teach students to hold themselves to high expectations, both academically and behaviorally, and they tirelessly support students when they fall short of those expectations. Our teachers are hungry to grow as leaders in this work every day, driven by personal reflection, coaching from school leadership, and partnerships with transformational colleagues. They understand founding an excellent school will be personally and intellectually exhausting. It will push us to our professional limits. It will ask more of us than we thought we had to give.
