OUR PRIMARY CURRICULUM

At Compass Doha, our students follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). In 2019, we were one of the first schools in the Qatar to be accredited by the IPC for the quality of our provision.

Your child will explore the wonders of reading, writing, and maths, alongside art, history, geography, music, sport, technology, and science. Outstanding teachers make sure every student is supported and included, and bring learning to life through trips, collaborations, and extra-curricular activities. All our primary year groups follow Ministry of Education programmes in Arabic, Islamic studies, and Qatari history, too.

PROGRESSING THROUGH PRIMARY

Primary school spans a period of remarkable growth, as our children make incredible personal and academic progress through the year groups.

Years 1 and 2
Our children study Units of Work, which last between three and six weeks. Going at their own pace, your child will immerse themselves in exciting themes that span traditional subjects. This creative approach will help them to grow academically and personally, and encourage them to see the world as an inspiring blend of experiences and cultures. Your child will also discover the joys of music, drama, and PE, supported by specialist teachers.

Years 3 and 4
In Years 3 and 4, we encourage our children to become more independent learners. Students develop their reading and comprehension skills, and collaborate on projects that inspire a love of new discoveries. Your child can also perform in class and school assemblies, which will build their confidence, self-esteem, and public speaking skills.

Years 5 and 6
Our Year 5 and 6 students increasingly take control of their learning, as they enjoy a balanced curriculum that’s enriched by local and international topics and elements. Working with students from around the world on our Global Campus learning platform, for example, your child will develop the social, academic, and personal skills they need to thrive in secondary education.
