Building Character
The Compass Program
Santa Catalina believes in educating the whole child—developing strong values and upstanding character in each of our students. Our character development program, Compass, provides time and space for children in different grade levels to come together on a regular basis, strengthening the school community through leadership opportunities, social connections, and service projects. Students learn to work and play cooperatively, to find joy in success, to heed the messages of their mistakes, and to value their inner lives with attention paid to their moral and spiritual development.
Compass gives us freedom to really get to know the kids and blossom as leaders.
