The service-learning program at Compass Community Schools serves as the intersect between the academic and character education pillars, bringing content, concepts, and skills gleaned from both to life through hands-on, tangible experiences. The purpose of this program is to promote collaborative initiatives for the extension of services and for the building up of a healthy community. In doing so, we are supporting our students to become agents of change in their communities.
Our partnership with St. Peter Outreach and the Dominican Friars Outreach Fund enabled us to carry out our mission to prepare students for college and life-long success by developing the whole child through a focus on academic excellence, values-based character education, and service learning in the community. Thanks for all you do for our students. Together we can make the dream of a "world-class" education a reality for students in Memphis.
