Happy 2nd day of Hanukkah!

On our "snow day" yesterday, we made Snow Dough, a simple, messy but fun mixture of baking soda and conditioner or corn starch and vegetable oil. As you can see, we had a blast!

On Thursday, December 15th, The Compass School of Ashburn will open at 9am to allow our staff and students time to arrive at school safely during inclement weather conditions.

Check out who made time in his busy schedule for a stop by Compass today! 🎅

We raised over $900 in donations tonight at our first annual Fall Festival! Thank you so much to everyone who was able to contribute and attend our festivities! We had such a fun time celebrating and seeing everyone in costumes 🤩🥳

We will be holding our first annual Fall Festival on Friday, October 28 from 6-8pm! This is a fun-filled fundraising event and all proceeds go directly back into the classrooms at our school! This year we are hoping to buy items for the playground as well as our World Markets classroom.

Tickets are per person. Children under age 1 are free. We can accept cash (exact change, please) or check from families not enrolled.

We hope you can join us!

Compass is an all-weather school! That means, rain or shine, our students should be prepared everyday to go outside. It also sometimes means lots of fun and getting really messy!

On September 15, we celebrated International Dot Day! Inspired by Peter Reynolds' book "The Dot", this holiday is a global celebration of creativity, courage, and collaboration. Check out all the fun we had getting artsy in our polka dots!

We are expanding our team! Please apply to our ad on Indeed or email your professional resume to [email protected] if you or someone you know is interested.

Happy Grandparents Day 👴👵🧓 This year, we partnered again with our friends next door at Waltonwood Senior Living, creating colorful banners to brighten up their common areas this weekend!

Happy Memorial Day, Compass Families! We look forward to seeing everyone back tomorrow as we take time to celebrate during the long weekend.
