EYFS CURRICULUM (NURSERY AND RECEPTION)

At Compass Doha, we believe nursery and reception education should be as hands-on as possible, which is why our youngest students learn through structured play and exploration. In creative spaces, your child will discover extraordinary new things, make friends, and hit key developmental milestones.

OUR EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE (EYFS) CURRICULUM

At our reception and nursery school in Doha, we combine two internationally renowned curricula to give our youngest students the best possible start. Our British EYFS curriculum is complemented by the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which personalises learning through a variety of age-appropriate themes and topics.

Our inspirational teachers create exceptional free-play activities that engage and excite our students. Through practical experiences, our children learn the fundamental skills to become independent, lifelong learners.

Fun and phonics
Speaking and listening, reading and writing – it’s time for our youngest children to express themselves! Following the EYFS framework, our students develop all-important communications and phonics skills.

Time for a treat
Who doesn’t like a snack? Two 30-minute breaks give our children the chance to recharge their batteries, sit down with friends, and learn about healthy eating.

Throwing, running, jumping
Our early years children have bags of energy, and our activity sessions are a great way to let off steam. Our students learn to swim, develop their motor skills through multi-sport activities, and more.

Do what you love
Choice is so important at Compass – and we encourage our youngest students to do what they love. They can play an instrument, perform a dance, or learn a language, including Arabic.

Play time
Outdoor play time is a firm favourite and a great way to end a jam-packed day. Our playground is the perfect place for exploration and discovery with friends. Story time offers a chilled-out alternative!

A TRULY GLOBAL EDUCATION

EMBRACING LANGUAGE AND CULTURE

From a young age, we encourage our learners to embrace local culture and develop their language skills.

Our early years children follow Ministry of Education programmes in three subjects: Arabic, Islamic studies, and Qatari history. Non-Arabic speaking children learn basic French, while our native Dutch speakers follow the Dutch language curriculum.
