ASD or Compass School

Hello everybody,

I'm interested in you opinions about the American School and Compass School. Which one would you recommend and why? My daughter is 4 years old, we're Dutch (well, Italo-Dutch to be precise)...

Or would you recommend a totally different one?

Thanks in advance

Hi Helloitsme, thank you for replying

What makes it difficult, is that we don't know whether we want to stay, go back to Holland or move to another country after this contract. My daughter can only count to 10 and say the typical "Dora the explorer" sentences in English :-) She is only 4 so expect her to be like a linguistic sponge. She likes to learn languages by the way.

Will the fact that she doesn't speak English yet make it difficult to getting into ASD? PS Our employer told us there was no waiting list.

Depends on what you want to do after Doha (go back to Holland or move to another country) and if your daughter speaks English. Other than that, it's not easy getting into the American school. I love ASD, it's a great school with amazing facilities.
