Why Compass Rose?

Compass Rose Academy is a clinically sophisticated Christian organization committed to enriching the lives of children and families through emotional healing, personal development, and spiritual growth.

Located in the Midwest, Compass Rose Academy is a trauma-informed residential
treatment center intentionally designed to help teen girls ages 14-18
and their families in need of healing from mental health concerns.

The residential treatment center works through our innovative Christian + Clinical approach to intensively redirect, rebuild, and restore young women who are suffering from problems with school, home, or family.
