Administrator Note

Dear World Compass Academy Community,

We are wrapping-up an unprecedented year, and we are doing it with style. The students were able to participate in Field Day, middle school tie-dying, classroom parties, graduation/continuation, and a dance. This last stint of fun is helping us send our students into summer with smiles and excitement. We are so wonderfully grateful that we got to see your children for the majority of the school year, and we feel fortunate for the opportunity to contribute to the resilient and perseverant character building qualities of the amazing learners at WCA. Your administrative team wants to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and enjoyable summer.

With the Warmest Regards,

Bethany, Krista, and Amanda
