COMPASS Learning Advantage — Local services in Hoboken

Brilliant concept coming from brilliant people!

My son has been attending COMPASS LEARNING CENTER since September, and we couldn't have made a better choice for him. He's 7 years old with ASD level 2, and finding the right fit for his educational needs has been challenging. Public schools couldn't provide the necessary support, and ABA schools weren't the right fit either.

At COMPASS, he found his place. The Pod, their daily learning program, is warm, calming, and welcoming. He loves his teachers and peers, and his learning progress has been remarkable. He attends every day with strong motivation, and we haven't had a single complaint or "day no" since he started, which is huge for us!

They offer so many interesting activities and are incredibly creative in their teaching methods, capturing his attention in ways we've never seen before.They have also sensory support accommodation/activity as well when needed which for someone like my son is essential during the day. We are absolutely confirming his presence for the next year. We are so grateful to have found COMPASS...

The summer camp at Compass is fantastic. The entire Compass team ensures a very well-organized and well-run summer camp!!! My daughter had a blast!!! Every day she came home reporting all the fun activities of the day such as making bird feeders, participating in relay races, and having a fun icy summer treat to round out the week. We also think it helped her to grow more independent and responsible as she was charged with carrying her own big backpack around town all day on her scooter (usually it gets tossed in her baby brother’s stroller). Trying new things like rock climbing was also a highlight for her which helped her get out of her comfort zone and learn that risk-taking in safe environments can be fun. Thank you to the whole Compass team for making this camp possible so city kids can get outside with peers and make the most of summer in the city! We greatly appreciate it and recommend this camp to others!!! We also look forward to trying Compass’ other offerings such as swim lessons based on our positive experience...

We've had such a great experience with COMPASS's swim program. My toddler has made a lot of progress through the patience of both his instructors (Jordanna and Nicky). They've helped him get over his fear of the water and know how to gently push him to try more advanced steps. I really appreciate their approach. March 2024 update: I'm back to add that we've been working with Avinash as my child's swim instructor due to my scheduling needs, and he's also been awesome. Avinash is clearly a skilled swimmer and he has the right temperament to teach -- he knows how to keep my child's attention so that he stays focused, which is a big plus. My son is making great progress and having fun with...
