Bronx Compass High School

Overview written by the school: Bronx Compass High School's mission is for all students to graduate equipped to succeed in the college and career of their dreams. We instill in our students to have GRIT: Guts, Responsibility, Integrity and Tenacity, and our entire staff works closely with individual students to demonstrate these core values. We value community service projects that are student led, consistent guidance and support from our team of school counselors, Seminar leaders who advise students all four years, and teachers who provide dozens of clubs and after school academic supports. In addition to college-readiness coursework, all students visit college campuses and workplaces to be passionate in determining their career path and reach their future goals.
