About World Compass Academy
World Compass Academy is a Douglas County public charter school in Castle Rock where every student learns a second language. Families choose Mandarin Chinese, French or Spanish and stay on that track through 8th grade. Kindergarten and first grade students get about two hours of immersion instruction a day, grades 2 to 4 get 45 minutes, and middle schoolers get 60 minutes.
We serve preschool through 8th grade. Our curriculum follows the Core Knowledge sequence alongside Into Math, Magnetic Reading phonics and Benchmark literacy, and students are pretested and grouped by ability for math and language arts. Gifted students work from Advanced Learning Plans with our gifted facilitator, and middle school honors math can reach two years of acceleration, including Geometry for high school credit.
Middle schoolers compete in the South Metro Charter Conference in soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, cheer and flag football, and students can join musicals, band, orchestra, choir and before and after school clubs. Our preschool for 3 and 4 year olds meets three mornings a week for $295 a month, and Pre-K runs five afternoons through Colorado Universal Preschool.
