Admissions

Admissions

Thank you for your interest in the Compass School. We are a public charter school and offer families in Washington County an alternative public school choice. We are funded through public tax dollars, as well as Federal and State grants. In accordance with our charter, all applications are considered, ensuring a student demographic based upon an equally distributed enrollment reflecting the school community. Per the guidelines set forth by the Rhode Island Department of Education, a lottery is conducted if the amount of applicants exceeds the available openings. Any applicant not chosen is retained on the waiting list, which will not roll-over from year to year. The admissions lottery is conducted in early April.

If you wish to make application to The Compass School you may go to The Compass School website, click on forms, and then on enrollment package to download an application.

We encourage prospective students and their families to visit us during an Open House. Open House is a great opportunity for prospective students and their families to visit our school and meet teachers and families from the Compass Community.

Open House events are currently scheduled for February 6th and 28th and March 12th in 2008. The Open House is conducted as a presentation with a question and answer period and begins at 6:30 PM.

Further admission inquiries should be directed to the Student Services Coordinator at 401-788-8322 or email at admin@compassschool.org.
