Thraya Compass
Small, careful tools that help parents think through the decisions that come with school. Every tool is free, nothing is tracked and nothing you enter is stored.
Part one
For the stage before any form is filled, when parents are still weighing learning approaches, locations and the class a child ought to enter.
Twelve questions about how your child learns and what you value in a classroom, weighed against the three alternate approaches so that the differences become concrete.
For families moving between cities, boards or curricula, this compares your child's age and earlier schooling against the grade they would ordinarily be placed into.
Kokapet, Gachibowli, Gandipet, Tellapur, Mokila, Narsingi and Kollur set side by side on travel time, surroundings and the kinds of schools each locality holds.
Part two
For the stage once a shortlist exists, when the questions turn to readiness, age eligibility, documents and dates.
A guided reflection across the physical, emotional and social signs that suggest a child is ready for formal learning, drawn from what teachers actually watch for in the early years.
Enter a date of birth and see the class your child falls into for the coming academic year, measured against the age norms schools in Telangana ordinarily follow.
Every document, certificate and record that schools commonly ask for, gathered into one checklist that can be worked through steadily rather than in a rush.
The months in which enquiries open, campus visits happen and seats begin to fill, laid out so that a family starts at the right time rather than after the good seats are gone.
Your answers stay with you. These tools run in your own browser, we do not track visitors, and nothing you enter is saved or sent to us. Sharing your contact details is entirely optional and it is never asked for before a result is shown.
Before you begin
Every tool in Compass is free, there is no sign-up and there is no paid version waiting at the end of a result.
No information you enter is stored or shared, and we do not track the parents who use these tools, so a reflection or a calculation ends with you and goes no further.
Yes, the tools describe how school decisions and admissions ordinarily work, and they remain useful regardless of the school a family finally chooses.
Yes, the tools marked coming soon are being built at present, and this page will hold every new one as it opens.
Tools can order the questions, though a school is ultimately understood by standing in it, watching how children move through the day and how adults speak with them.
Every child, at their own pace
Drawn from the insights of Rudolf Steiner and a Waldorf-inspired approach to childhood, we endeavour to help families choose well, so that a child is met at the pace of their own unfolding rather than the pace of the calendar.
