About Us

In July 9, Compass Community Schools opened six high-quality charter schools (five elementary and one middle / high) in the Memphis communities of Binghampton, Berclair, Frayser, Hickory Hill, Midtown, and Orange Mound.

We focus intently on three pillars academic excellence, values-based character education, and service learning in the community as we prepare our students for college and life-long success.

This true education provided within a supportive, joyful, and hopeful school culture will prepare our students to be positive agents of change in our communities.
