Compass Students

Compass students are involved in a variety of engaging experiences at Compass. Here are few examples of what they are up to.

Student Work

Global Connections-Dominican Republic Trip Reflections: Personal vignettes written by the 11th grade class of 2010-2011 during and after their two week cultural immersion and service trip.

Time and Space Elective: Read about truly mind bending things here like parallel universes, the idea that time does not move forward, string theory, how messing with time in fiction can make us think about death in new ways, and more.

2010 Science of the Mind Journal and 2008 Science of the Mind Journal - A student created professional quality science magazine that has been used by college Educational Psychology courses to learn about brain research. Created by the cross-discipline 11th-12th grade elective class in 2008 and again in 2010.

Feeding the Community with Hope Journal - Beautiful reflections on Community Service Winter Term work at Our Place Drop-in Center and experience with issues of hunger and homelessness in Vermont.

Baltimore Poetry Book (6MB PDF) - This collection of personal expression reflects a group of individuals who know ourselves more now because we know each other. We have gathered up pieces of one another and patched them together in our minds and hearts. 

Film Festival Videos - In what is now an annual tradition, the Compass Student Film Festival attracted almost a dozen past star actors and directors and a standing room only crowd. Judges praised what were by far the highest quality films produced here, as the story telling and technical expertise leap ahead each year. Film festival DVD's are for sale through the school.

(Parental Advisory: Some of these films contain mature subjects and should be considered PG-13)

Middle School at Compass: Student Views: A quick video made by Middle School students to share what they think of their experience.
