Compass International School Doha

Compass was established in 2006 to provide a premium British education to both expatriate and local Qatari families. We have three campuses;
Al Themaid and Madinat Khalifa educate students from Early Years through to Secondary whereas Gharaffa is a stand‑alone Primary campus for children aged 3‑11. All campuses offer a bespoke British curriculum. Secondary students can select from a wide range of IGSEs, AS and A levels. Additionally, we offer the prestigious IB Diploma Programme in Years 12 and 13. All three sites offer a warm, friendly learning environment with our students at the heart of everything we do.

Our school holds Qatar National Schools Accreditation (QNSA) and is a member of the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME), COBIS and AoBSO.

You possess a university degree, a recognised teaching qualification and ideally, two years of teaching experience.
