FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Simply fill out the contact form and choose your desired program. The Compass team will contact you as soon as possible to answer some questions and understand your reasons for joining the course. Once you confirm your registration, we will send you the registration form to complete and return to us. This step validates your registration.

We aim for an approach that is accessible to all. We refuse to let financial limitations be an obstacle to self-discovery and personal development. Taking any financial constraints into account, we suggest that families decide on a contribution they are able to make to which the Compass team can adapt.

Our classes for summer camps and immersive weekends are made up of 20 students maximum.

For a class of 20 students, we apply the principle of first come first served for the first 10 places. For the 10 remaining places, we consider financial criteria in order to balance the programme’s costs.

We have designed the summer camp programme to evolve over the 5 days. We therefore strongly recommend that you attend the whole week.

We provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks for students each day, taking into account each student’s dietary requirements.

We do not offer accommodation for students.

Unless specifically indicated, no equipment is required for participation in the camp or workshops. However, a smartphone and a laptop are required for the digital workshops. The Compass team can provide them to students if they do not have them.

The program for each camp varies from one session to the next, including the appearance of new business speakers.

Each day starts at 9am and ends around 5:30pm.

No, or at least that’s not what our programs are designed to do. Our summer camps and weekends aim to help students think about their careers in a broader sense, and to identify the key criteria for making their own informed decisions. The main benefits we hope to provide are a better knowledge of yourself and your talents, a greater openness to the professional world, and increased confidence in yourself and your future.

Not directly. Our summer camps and weekends aren’t about looking at the range of courses available and assigning priorities to each student. Instead, in each session, we focus on reflection, inspiration and skill-building, which will benefit students in the long run, beyond short-term academic choices.
