Assessment
Every child who starts in Year 4 or above sits an online assessment. We do this to ensure we can meet their needs. If your child is joining us in Years 1-3, they won’t need to take a test. However, our primary staff will look at their school reports and arrange an informal meeting with you.

WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How long does the admissions process take?
    Our admissions process should take no longer than two weeks from the moment you get in touch with us. Timings can vary, though, as each child’s application journey is different. Speak to our admissions team to find out more.
  • Do you charge an application fee?
    Yes, we do. Our application fee covers the administrative costs of your child’s assessment.
  • Is the process different if my company pays the fees?
    If your company is paying your child’s school fees, our admissions and finance teams are happy to deal with them directly. Please let us know as early as possible in the application process.
  • Can my child start halfway through a term?
    Yes, absolutely. Your child can start at Compass at any time in the year, subject to available places.
  • Are you a selective school?
    Yes. Your child will do a short online assessment before they start with us to ensure our school is right for them.
  • What are the differences between your three campuses?

    Although we’re one school community, each of our campuses offers students something slightly different.

    Our Gharaffa campus teaches early years and primary education. This complements our primary and secondary provision on our Madinat Khalifa campus, which is also home to our IBDP students. On our Themaid campus, we teach early years right through to A-levels.

    All three campuses have outstanding facilities that deliver a first-class learning experience.
