Our mission is to be a publicly accessible option. To this end, Compass sets its tuition at the Vermont public school average. While we have limited financial aid, we strongly encourage all families to inquire about the possibility of financial aid.

Vermont Town Pay Tuition: Towns without age-appropriate educational facilities (“tuitioning” towns) pay a set tuition for their students to attend local public and private schools. This means that if you live in a tuitioning town, your Compass tuition is paid in full by your town (Enrollment and Required Fees remain the responsibility of the family).  

Need-Based Financial Aid : We want our program to be accessible to students from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds, and we are committed to working with families as much as possible to make affording Compass a possibility.  

Limited financial aid is available for Compass families based on demonstrated need as determined by information provided by the family to TADS (Tuition Aid Data Service).  Families seeking financial aid need to submit an online application to TADS in order to be considered. We encourage families seeking aid to apply early, and more information about submitting materials is provided during the enrollment process.
