We have established that children need time to be
passionate, curious learners. This we know to be true. We also know that
children need time to build relationships with their peers, educators, and
environment. In the Compass School, we place a high value on our children
being an integral part of our community.
Because of this, we focus on building
and extending relationships within our school. The children at Compass create
strong, loving bonds with those involved with our community by staying in the
same classroom, with the same teachers, for approximately eighteen months.
During this time and because of this
time, children develop a sense of belonging with their classroom and those in
it. The bonds created between the children, teachers, and environments are full
of love and respect. With these bonds, our children feel comfortable to take
chances, seek affirmation, and create dialogue.
Our children, teachers, and environment are deeply respected
members of the community built at the Compass School in Cincinnati.
Establishing strong relationships with teachers is crucial in the learning
journey. Without these relationships, children cannot truly feel comfortable to
ask questions or engage in thought-provoking conversations. It is critical for
the child to feel comfort, love, and peace to truly feel capable to extend
their learning.
The Compass School prides themselves on the ability of the
teachers and students to create these harmonious and beautiful relationships
within our school. Our school is truly happy in the community we have
created together.
