Compass International School Doha, an English speaking school, opened its doors to its first pupils on 24th September, 2006. The school is part of the WCLS Group (World Class Learning Schools), who own and operate numerous schools in the USA and around the world providing high quality learning to children of over 50 nationalities. The school follows the IPC (International Primary Curriculum). The IPC places emphasis on helping children achieve their academic potential through the study of the subjects of the curriculum which have an international flavour. The IPC is taught in nearly 300 schools worldwide. Our partner company, Fieldwork Education, manages many Corporate and individual International schools throughout the world. Compass International School is the first (and currently only) school in Doha to deliver Dutch lessons for Dutch and Dutch speaking children as part of the curriculum. The non-Dutch speaking children attend French lessons during this time. Currently the school caters for children aged from 4 to 12 years of age, but plans are in place to extend the age range to be from 4 to 18 years of age. The school is currently based in a converted palace but a purpose built school is presently being planned.
