At every stage of their education – from early years through to secondary – your child will follow tailored pathways that embrace their interests, talents, and aspirations. At secondary level, they’ll have the unique opportunity to choose between A-levels and the IBDP.

Our curriculum is enhanced by innovative collaborations with The Juilliard School and MIT, which offer exclusive access to the world’s best performing arts and STEAM programmes. And on Nord Anglia’s Global Campus learning platform, your child will solve problems, tackle challenges, and collaborate on one-off projects with children across 32 countries.

Adapting the curriculum to each student’s needs helps them to achieve fantastic results. In 2021, our IBDP students scored 15% above the global average – the highest marks in our history. Our academic excellence will propel your child to the world’s top universities, including Hofstra in New York, the University of Aberdeen, and University of Reading.

World's best teachers

The key to an exceptional learning experience is an inspirational teacher, which is why we only recruit the most passionate, gifted people. All our teachers are fully qualified, fluent English speakers. And in subjects like the performing arts and STEAM, our teachers work closely with specialists in their fields.

Our classes have an average student-teacher ratio of 12:1, guaranteeing your child will get the attention they deserve. At every stage of our students’ education, teachers monitor academic progress, set targets and – really importantly – keep an eye on their wellbeing. To make sure every student is supported, we also have dedicated English as an Additional Language (EAL) and Additional Learning Needs teams.

Like our students, we encourage our teachers to expand their knowledge. Through Nord Anglia University, teachers access trailblazing academic ideas and training courses – including the Master’s in International Education.

Our social purpose
Your child will use their creativity and determination to make a real difference to the world. They’ll do this by standing up for the causes they believe in, both locally and internationally.
Compass International School Doha | Nord Anglia Education-Feature Cards Pattern-Home_Social-purpose_787x443
Our social purpose
From beach clean-ups and animal welfare expeditions, to outreach projects in Tanzania, our students are dynamic advocates for change in our community and across the globe.  

Through our exclusive collaboration with UNICEF, your child can take part in the Global Challenge, coming together with students from across Nord Anglia’s family of schools at the High Level Political Forum in New York. There, our students contribute to workshops and seminars, and speak up on the issues that matter – influencing world leaders and making the planet a better place. 

On our Young Learners’ programme, students come up with ideas to improve environmental sustainability. Collaborating with friends and the local community, our students build confidence, resilience and teamwork skills. Your child will also work on high profile projects in the region through partnerships with the Ministry of Education and Qatar Museums.
