Compass empowers Australian independent schools to focus on what matters: exceptional education and student outcomes. Supporting over 3,200 schools and four million users, Compass was created out of schools’ real-world needs and is continuously refined in partnership with school feedback.

Covering the student journey from expressions of interest and enrolments through to alumni and fundraising, Compass powers schools through a fully connected modular platform. And Compass’ native mobile app keeps school communities strongly engaged through one complete source of communications, consent and payment, academic results, permission-based wellbeing observations, canteen and uniform shop orders, volunteer opportunities and so much more.

Backed by dedicated education-specialist trainers, a network of over 40 Compass Support employees, and enterprise-grade security, our cloud-based solution integrates with other best-in-class education specialists including finance providers, learning management systems, co-curricular platforms and identity providers. In addition, our robust API library gives schools the flexibility to extend and maximise their data.

Compass is currently trusted by almost 200 independent schools here in Australia and is welcoming more every month. With over $20M of product development investment each year, Compass releases multiple features weekly and new modules regularly in line with independent schools’ needs and jurisdictional requirements.

With over 50 modules, including CompassFMS coming in 2026, and Products such as Griddle Timetabling and Daily Organisation, Compass is quickly becoming recognised for its strong commitment to innovation and willingness to listen and respond to schools’ requests.

Finally, change is hard. We get it. With our Support Plans, Compass’ dedicated Client Consultants will walk with your school in every step of your SIS replacement journey. We provide best practice consultations and advice, and regular reviews to ensure schools are adopting and utilising the platform in the most optimal way for their staff and school community members.
