Compass perspective
Good fit if…
You want very small classes and project-based teaching for a primary-age child, in an MOE-recognised learning-centre model with an international pupil community.
Think twice if…
It is not licensed as an international school, provision is primary only, and admission is selective and capacity-limited, so a place is not a given.
Verify before applying
Ask about current availability in your child's year, how the admissions assessment treats language, and which secondary schools pupils have moved on to.
