Combining two Saint Mary’s School signature programs, Compass Explorations focuses on ten key competencies that ready girls for college and life. Inquiry-based, Compass Explorations is built upon experiential, hands-on learning with experts both at Saint Mary’s and in the greater community. In strategic community partnerships, girls explore diverse areas of interest or deep-dive into a focused, multi-day exploration. Students will complete the Compass Explorations program with an online portfolio of learning and an increased capacity for leadership and self-expression.
