Compass Rose Academy

Posted: August 3, 2026

I want to sincerely thank Ms. Christie and the entire team for creating such a wonderful, caring environment for the kids. Knowing my child is surrounded by teachers and staff who genuinely care about each child’s growth, confidence, and well-being gives me so much peace of mind.

Ms. Christie has been such a positive influence, encouraging confidence, resilience, and self-belief. As parents, those are values we work hard to teach at home, so it means so much to see them reinforced by such amazing role models.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. The staff is kind, attentive, and truly invested in every child. The location is fantastic, and it’s clear that everyone here is passionate about what they do. Their dedication and genuine care make this summer camp an incredible place for children to learn, grow, and have fun.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. We feel incredibly grateful to have found this summer camp, and I highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for their children.

I would highly recommend Compass Rose Academy for any child. As we moved from another state, our daughter was shy and reserved at first. Compass Rose was small and comforting to her and she could be herself and learn more efficiently. The one on one instruction taught her to read quickly with confidence. They teach each child differently, but still expect more than just "Common Core". She has excelled academically without bringing home tons of nightly homework. They learn to become independent thinkers. She was not "lost" in the crowds at recess, but instead surrounded by beautiful quaint grounds and a small group of children. They learn to respect others and Mother Earth. They plant seeds in the gardens and learn about planting and harvesting for food. Well rounded education. Again, would highly recommend!!!

We came from a bigger public school where bullying and entitled children were everywhere and here one they wouldn't accept that behavior , but two the children are so kind hearted it's really a treasure.

Truly a blessing!! My son, never wants to leave school, which says a lot to us as his parents. Dedication, grace, happiness, team-work...are just a few words that come to mind when I think of what makes up this amazing school. They are raising our children to be the best well rounded child they can be and children that are eager to learn.

I wish more children had the resources for this school and I hope that more schools model there programs from the Compass Rose Academy teaching system.

Amazing grace! Truly a blessing. My wife found Compass Rose Academy before we moved to the area. We were looking for a smaller boutique, more individualized school so our son could get the attention we felt he needed. Our child before Compass (bc) and after there summer camp program combined with his first 6 months of the school year, the transition has been the most beautiful and happy growth process imaginable. I could write accolades on the staff, the system, the field trips and walks to the beach etc etc. Our son's reading, writing, study habits and most importantly his passion for learning and looking forward to attending school is truly unbelievable. Compass Rose is unique in so many ways. We are extremely grateful for everything they have given to our family.
Sincerely
The Lipsky Family

I have two children enrolled in Compass Rose Academy and we absolutely love it. My children have attended here for 3 years. All the teachers are compassionate and get to know every child at the school, not just the children in their class. I love the laid back environment with the structure and order in the classroom. My children are excelling academically and enjoy coming here to learn and play.

We have never had any issue with bullying here. The school is small and the teachers are keyed into what is going on so this has never been an issue for us at this school.

They accommodate different learning styles and help those who need a little extra.

Teachers educate and make learning fun. I love how they make every child feel special.

I feel like there is the right amount of homework, we only get it if they need extra work in a certain area, they do not send home "busy work" and they promote daily reading.

My daughter has attended Compass Rosa Academy for 3 years now. All of the teachers are compassionate about our children and their education. I highly recommend this amazing school!!

Our daughter attend Compass Rose for 3 years and each and every teacher was completely dedicated to the success of her education and development. They were an extension of our family and we could not have asked for a more caring, supportive and foundational start for our daughter. The catered to her specific needs and even supported her learning English

Each year Compass Rose just kept getting better and better. The after school enrichment activitites, Language arts and physical activitites. Each teacher contributed to our child and she felt the combined "it takes a village" trust and safety to learn and grow. We are forever grateful for our experience with CRA and are only leaving because we are moving to a different city.

Compass Rose Academy is a fantastic school that provides every child an opportunity to feel safe, empowered, and develop a LOVE for learning! The teachers and parent volunteers are there to guide children down the path of education and to make sure that every concept is mastered. Compass Rose Academy also provides after school and summer programs so that every child who lives or visits our community can be apart of the learning fun!

@ Sandestin. They offer summer day camp, private school, tutoring & home school assistance all from age 3 and up. I can't imagine my children going to school anywhere else where education is a fun learning adventure & my children are upset when they can't go to school. From Santa Rosa Beach Mom
