Dear Compass Families,
It’s my honour to welcome each of you, whether you’re returning or joining us for the first time, for another exciting year at Compass International School Doha.
For over 20 years, I’ve devoted my life to education,working in school leadership across the UK, China, and here in Qatar. Like many of you, I’m not only a school leader but also a parent, with my own children growing and learning right alongside yours within these walls. That’s why this community means so much to me, it’s made of real people, real relationships, and real moments where children grow beyond academics.
At Compass, we believe in education that goes far beyond the classroom. I’m passionately committed to authentic leadership, meaningful relationships, and cultivating a culture where every student, staff member, and parent genuinely feels seen, supported, and valued. Together, with our incredible team of teachers and staff, we strive to ensure that your child not only masters skills and knowledge but also learns how to think critically, act compassionately, and live with purpose.
Your child’s well-being and success are always at the heart of everything we do. We continuously refine our teaching approaches, curriculum, and support systems to meet each student’s individual needs. We want every learner to feel that they belong, and that they’re empowered to reach their full potential.
This school is more than just a collection of classrooms; it’s a thriving community. Your involvement - whether through attending events, participating in school life, or joining our Friends of Compass (FCS) parent network - helps strengthen the bonds that make our community special. I warmly encourage you to join us, share your voice, and play an active role in shaping our school experience.
Thank you for placing your trust in us. I can’t wait to collaborate with each of you, students, parents, and staff, to create a year full of learning, growth, inspiring challenges, and lasting memories.
With warmest wishes,
Jamie Hughes
Principal
Compass International School Doha
