HEAD OF CAMPUS, COMPASS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL DOHA THEMAID

Nord Anglia Education has an exciting and challenging opportunity for an outstanding, internationally-experienced leader in education to drive the ongoing success of the highly regarded Compass International School Doha.

The School

Nord Anglia Education (NAE) is seeking to recruit an experienced, dynamic and inspirational Head of Campus to lead one of the four campuses of the Compass International School Doha.

Founded in 2006 to meet the growing demand in the State of Qatar, Compass International School Doha (“Compass”) hosts a unique, international learning environment for students ages 3 to 18.  The school is set across four campuses in Doha – Madinat Khalifa, Gharaffa, Rayyan and Themaid.  Gharaffa and Rayyan Campuses cater for children from Early Years 1 to Year 6 (3 to 11 years old) whilst Madinat Khalifa Campus ranges from Year 1 to Year 13 (5 to 18 years old).

Compass International School Themaid Campus is located between the Mall of Qatar and Festival City and is close to other schools in this growing part of the city of Doha. The purpose-built school will cater for up to 1200 students aged 3 to 18.  The school will follow the Early Years Foundation Programme, the International Primary Curriculum, the English Key Stage 3 curriculum in lower secondary with IGCSE programmes in Years 10 and 11 (Grades 9 and 10) and students will move onto A-Level courses post 16. The school will offer Arabic as a native and foreign language so that all children can learn the language of their home or host country.  As a new school, the campus has outstanding facilities including a 25-metre swimming pool, specialist performance spaces, a restaurant and specialist teaching spaces for Design Technology, ICT, Science, Music, PE and Art and dedicated areas for Early Years and Primary children. Students will be able to access the unique features of being a Nord Anglia Education school with our partnerships with MIT, The Juilliard School, UNICEF, Nord Anglia Global Campus and Nord Anglia University.

Compass International School Doha is one of Qatar’s leading schools and a member of the Nord Anglia Education group of 61 schools in 28 countries around the globe. This gives a unique link to schools and opportunities worldwide.
