What to Expect:

Submitting a pre-application during the summer does not guarantee it will be reviewed before the new school year.

After submitting a complete application, full onboarding typically takes 4–12 weeks.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The VENDOR must fill out this inquiry form - families may not complete this form on behalf of the vendor.

Compass Charters will not cover costs for provider classes that are held at third-party locations requiring families to pay an additional access fee. This policy ensures that we only fund classes where families can participate without incurring extra venue charges.
