Today on Kids First Radio on 100.7 The Point, tune in for a special conversation with Superintendent Chris Neeley and Elizabeth Simpson of Compass Collegiate Academy in North Charleston. We dive into the intentional, slow-growth model that has allowed Compass to thrive and outperform neighboring districts. Elizabeth shares how building trust within the community and focusing on both academic rigor and essential soft skills are preparing their scholars to be lifelong learners and future leaders.
One of the most exciting highlights? Student entrepreneurship programs at Compass, where students are developing business ideas, building financial literacy, and presenting their work. We also discuss their hands-on learning experiences, like the Green Heart project and the exciting possibility of Compass Collegiate expanding to the Columbia area. Join us for a great conversation about innovation, growth, and what it truly means to put #KidsFirst.
