Compass Academy
Creating an online information platform for a cutting edge charter school model.
challenge
Compass Academy, a 6th to 8th grade charter school for under-served students in southwest Denver, was looking to expand to a full high school. In order to attract external stakeholders to their new program, the school needed a way to share the "Compass Points" school model in one easy-to-use and compelling package.
Compass Academy
outcome
Desklight worked with stakeholders to develop a content strategy from which was built an interactive online tool comprised of a digital brochure and digital content templates. This tool was designed in such a way that the Compass team could revise as they led up towards the high school's launch.
DIGITAL BROCHUREDesklight developed a custom Wordpress site with replicable page templates for each of the school model's core components and an appendix for all of Compass Academy's supporting documents. The back-end was optimized for easy hand-off. |

DOCUMENT TEMPLATESTo accommodate information too detailed for the website itself, Desklight created fully-editable, branded document templates in Google Suite for the Compass team to continue to expand their digital content. |

Content StrategyDesklight worked closely with key stakeholders to hone in on key messages and information architecture for the Compass Points model. |

With full ownership of the site and supporting documents, the Compass team is in complete control. Empowering educators to be their own advocates. It’s what we do.
