Compass International School (Compass) launched the Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience to its students last month in response to the recent closure of school in Qatar. 
The Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience draws on the expertise of Nord Anglia’s 9,000 educators to deliver an outstanding online education to 66,000 students worldwide, including 1,800 students at Compass’ campuses in Gharaffa, Madinat Khalifa, Rayyan and Themaid. 
Through the Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience, Compass students continue to receive a high quality, age-appropriate education from Compass’ world-class teaching team in an online environment, said the school in a press release, yesterday. 
Each day, the teachers deliver creative and inspiring lessons, from science experiments to PE lessons to music practice. These rich learning opportunities give students the chance to learn safely at home while collaborating with classmates online, submitting assignments and developing skills to work independently. 
Through Compass’ unique collaborations with world leading organisations like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Juilliard School and UNICEF students can take part in online challenges to inspire their creativity at home. 
Paul Holyome, Executive Principal at Compass International School, said: “As part of Nord Anglia Education’s family of 66 international schools, students from Compass International School continue to receive the very best education which can help provide stability and reassurance to children and their families during this difficult time. It is inspiring to see how quickly our children and teaching team have engaged with the Nord Anglia Virtual School Experience and this would not have been possible without the support and dedication from parents”.
Compass International School is one of Qatar’s leading schools, providing the very best of British and international curricula for over thirteen years. 
Through bespoke global educational experiences, collaborations with some of the world’s finest institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (MIT) and The Juilliard School, and a personalised approach to learning, Compass delivers excellent academic outcomes for children at all levels at its four campuses conveniently located across Doha.  Throughout the school closure period, the Compass Admissions Team are on hand to offer the best online and over-the-phone experience.
