Overview

Mission

Compass educational programs were created to complement the education a child receives during the school day and in the family setting. For parents who are seeking faith-based educational enrichment for their child, compass provides a safe and loving support system with peace of mind. Compass offers preschool as well as before- and after-school care conveniently located on school campuses. Our goal is to provide each family with high-quality learning options in a loving christian environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Preschool and before and after care programs - educational programs for k-8 schools complementing the education a child receives during the school day and in the family setting.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
