Admissions Process

Application materials are available online at:

Compass School has a rolling admissions process during the academic year. We will consider and approve applications as they are completed. However, as grades may fill quickly, we encourage prospective students to submit your application as early as possible.

The application deadline for the 2010-11 school year is Friday, March 5, 2010. After this deadline, applications will be considered on a space available basis.

Once the application and supporting materials have been received, they are reviewed by the Admissions Committee to determine whether Compass School's program is appropriate to support the educational needs of the applicant.

We encourage parents and students to visit Compass School during the school day or attend one of our Open House presentations to better acquaint themselves with the school community before or during the application process.

Please arrange a school visit by calling (802) 463-2525 or email: admissions@compassschool.org

A complete application must be received before a decision can be made on any applicant.
