Compass PLUS, an acronym for Premium Learning of Upper Secondary, seamlessly integrates the best of post-16 education by offering both A-Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) at our purpose built Themaid campus which recently celebrated its 5th year anniversary.

Executive Principal Liz Lamb shared her excitement: "Compass PLUS symbolises our commitment to nurturing tomorrow's leaders. By uniting A-Levels and IBDP under one roof, we're opening doors to limitless possibilities for our students. It's more than an education; it's the starting point for future success."
At the heart of Compass PLUS lies our unwavering dedication to personalised learning. We recognise that each student is unique, with individual strengths, passions, and aspirations. Our programme is meticulously crafted to push boundaries, nurture potential, and provide compassionate support, ensuring every student thrives. With our dedicated Careers Counselor Tina Reed, we’re supporting students from every aspect ensuring they are provided the guidance and tools necessary for success.
Compass PLUS offers unparalleled global opportunities. Our students benefit from collaborations with world-renowned institutions such as MIT and Juilliard, gaining experiences that transcend traditional classroom learning.
Ita Conneely, Head of Sixth Form, emphasises the programme's philosophy: "At Compass, we don't just believe in progress; we cultivate it. Compass PLUS is our promise to each student – a commitment to foster their individual growth, challenge their limits, and care for their holistic development. It's about creating a unique educational journey."
Housed in our state-of-the-art Themaid campus, Compass PLUS provides students with an inspiring environment equipped with cutting-edge facilities. Here, they'll not only excel academically but also develop the critical skills and global perspective essential for success in an ever-evolving world.
“Compass PLUS is more than just a name; it's a comprehensive approach designed to give students everything they need to succeed.” Tom Kinnersley – Head of Secondary Themaid. Mr. Kinnersley went on further to elaborate by saying:
"Compass PLUS reimagines the traditional year 12 and 13 experience. It's an options evening with more direction, guiding students through their choices with clarity and purpose.
It's a career fair with the right partners, connecting our students with industry leaders and universities that align with their aspirations. Our mentorship programme helps soon-to-be graduates find a deep understanding of the courses they need, ensuring they're well-prepared for higher education and beyond.” And it doesn't stop with students – we’ll be offering training seminars for parents, equipping them to support their children on this exciting journey.

The blog highlights the transformative power of physical activity, emphasizing how it boosts energy, focus, and mental well-being. At Compass International School, promoting an active lifestyle is integral to fostering both physical and emotional health, which in turn enhances students' academic performance. The new initiative, Kickstart Kilometre, invites the school community to walk or jog together every Thursday morning, kickstarting their day with positive energy and improved focus. This approach aims to inspire a balanced lifestyle that helps manage stress and supports overall success in both academics and life.
