School Overview

Project Compass is an alternative education program operating under the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) district in Orlando, Florida. It is specifically designed to support students who may require a non-traditional learning environment, often serving as a secondary placement for students who need additional structure, behavioral support, or academic intervention to stay on track for graduation. The program focuses on providing a path for students to regain academic credit and improve their educational standing within the district.

The initiative is part of the OCPS "Student Acceleration and Enrollment" (SAE) division, which emphasizes personalized learning and the development of essential life and academic skills. By providing a specialized setting, Project Compass aims to reduce dropout rates and address the unique barriers that might hinder a student's success in a conventional classroom. Through this targeted approach, the school helps students navigate challenges, foster accountability, and ultimately work toward achieving their high school diploma.
