The Compass Curriculum is the actualization of developmental giants—Piaget, Holt, Glasser, and Maslow—integrated with Biblical Truth. We believe children are born with the "Correct Presence" for learning. We don't force knowledge; we provide a Fortress (Refuge) where a child's natural curiosity and "Still Small Voice" can lead. This is the transition from a system of Compliance to a system of Sovereignty.
Every module follows a stable, repeatable path designed for the home and the small group:
One ancient anchor for the soul.
A visual tool (Lantern, Staff, Seed) to navigate the physical world.
An embodied investigation where the child is the star.
Relational repair and conversation to bridge the heart to the home.
What does a "Mission" actually look like? It looks like the 13 Colonies Simulation.
We begin with the "Body of Christ"—understanding that every member has a gift and every colony has a purpose.
Students don't read about trade; they become the traders. They research what their specific colony produced, set prices for their goods, and negotiate with neighboring colonies.
The Result: The state standards are mastered as tools of survival, not boxes to be checked. The child isn't just a student; they are a Sovereign Investigator.
Our students don't just "meet" state standards; they use them as tools to build their own worlds. Whether researching 13-colony trade routes or finding geometry in art, our methods ensure children are "Above and Beside" their peers by focusing on Mastery through Inquiry, not testing.
Each symbol guides the child through a different aspect of their spiritual and developmental journey:
Jesus as Light
Self-Awareness and illumination in the darkness
God as Refuge
Choice & Safety in a world of chaos
The Good Shepherd
Guidance and direction on the path
Faith and Patience
Developmental Growth in God's timing
