What is in a name?




A compass is a navigational instrument for finding directions. A compass can tell you the direction an object is from you. This is known as the bearing. It can also indicate which direction you are going towards, this is known as your heading. First invented in ancient China around 247BCE, the magnetic compass was already in use for navigation by the 11th century.

This unique invention enabled mariners to navigate safely far from land, increasing sea trade, and contributing to the Age of Discovery. Although the world has transformed from the Middle-Ages to Modern Era, the compass has continued to play a significant role in indicating the direction-of-travel and the discovery of modern societies.  

The founders of Club Compass believe post-primary school children need direction and supervision in order to discover their true bearings and headings in a world full of competition over scarce resources and limited infrastructural and educational foundation. 


Club Compass offers a variety of activities to students. It allows students to discover their God given potentials and the ability to harness this talent into a productive reality. The Club offers you the opportunity to showcase your talent in writing, presentations, research, entertainment, creative works, events planning, photography, sports and other extra-curricular activities that boast the self-esteem of teenagers and adult alike.

The creation of Club-Compass School Society in your school will among many things, identify prospective and active club members, organize your programmes and project the image of your school positively as well as the good will and intentions of Club-Compass founders.

It will not only serve as a useful extra-curricular activity programme for students but will also encourage parents and guardians to support their children’s ambitions, talents and acquired skills and the quantum development of youths in Nigeria. 

In addition to learning and character building, Club-Compass School Society is a true means of entertainment in a pure, organized and creative environment. School trips, events, competitions, workshops and seminars, the club inspires entertainment for teenagers and youth alike, allowing them to be entertained, educated and informed.
