Beyond Talent College Compass Program
College Compass is a college access and success program for non-traditional students ages 16 to 25 in the District area. Beyond Talent’s curriculum prepares students for the math and writing sections of the Accuplacer examination, a national placement examination that assesses a student’s readiness for college level work. High scores in the math and writing sections of the exam eliminate the need for developmental courses. Read more about College Compass and download the application in the Programs and Services section.
