Questions? We’d love to hear from you.

F.A.Q.

Yes!  We have a virtual option using some of our most useful tools that can host up to 70 people at one time and we are happy to run on-site workshops for larger groups. 

Between 20 and 30 is the optimum number for our onsite workshops, but we have hosted much larger groups with the appropriate facilities and support. 

Yes!  Systems thinking is what administrators must do every day and the Compass Tools  create a visible way to organize and connect their thoughts and work! 

Yes. All of our trainings include a planning meeting with the school to determine how to customize the learning for the participants.  It is very important to us that educators walk away from the training feeling empowered to use the tools in their context and we work hard to align our presentation with the specific needs of each school. 

Educators from all over the world!   Compass Education has more than 25 facilitators working in more than 42 countries.  Our online trainings are available in even the most remote areas and it is so fun to see who joins us! 

We currently offer discounts for groups and cohorts.  We also have very accessible pricing for educators in government or public schools. When we have facilitators in the area, we offer free trainings for community organizations that work with children in marginalized regions of the world. 

Compass Education is grateful to our generous non-profit donors and  sponsors who contribute to our operations costs, allowing us to keep prices low and provide scholarships and free trainings for educational organizations who would be served by the tools but do not have the resources  to pay for training.
