Compass Connect

In this reflective blog, Year 12 IB student Fladina shares how hands-on service experiences, from deworming a goat in rural Kenya to shadowing doctors in Qatar, shaped her understanding of global inequality, leadership, and advocacy. Through community projects, school initiatives, and international conferences, she connected deeply with UNICEF’s mission and the power of small acts to create lasting change. Fladina’s journey highlights how real-world action complements academic learning and builds resilience, empathy, and purpose.

Through our ongoing partnership with MIT, Compass students are rising to the challenge of solving real-world problems with creativity, collaboration, and innovation. With hands-on learning and global connections through the Global Campus platform, our students are developing the critical skills needed to shape a better future.
