ACS Doha

Anyone have their children enrolled in ACS Doha?  Or any experiences with the school at all?  Would appreciate your feedback.  They seem to be one of the few schools (the only one come to think of it) that has spaces available.  Thanks!!

As a staff member at ASD, I can tell you we haven't been hurt at all by ACS's opening.  In fact, as Minoush said, our waiting lists are longer than ever and we accepted more students than ever.  I do know of several families, however, who are having children there until they can get a place at ASD.

Jack Spratt... I'm sorry but how dare you tell me to let go of my feelings about something that affected my children and you have no clue about.  ASD did not lose any children to ACS, in fact their waiting list is even longer. What knowledge do YOU bring in for evidence of that??Explain to me where I exaggerated.. I would love to know why you think so. Why do you defend Compass so much when even their teachers defected to ACS?2/3rd's of the Madinat Khalifa's 5th year class is now either at ASD or ACS.  Explain to me the reason for this???

Jack - for what reasons do you feel that people would defect from ASD to ACS?  My understanding was that ASD is top notch?

I think you will find more kids defected from ASD than Compass. But anyway, kids change schools all the time. Minoush, you still have that poison and bitterness inside you about Compass. My advice is to let it go and it will make you a better person and less twisted in your outlook on life. People can only feel sorry for you when you make these kinds of comments. If you want to be taken seriosuly, you need to tell the truth without exaggerating and bring some balance into your argument.

It looks good on paper, lets see what it does...  My big problem is it claiming to be an American School but the website is in British English.  Seriously?  Don't claim to be an American School, then spell program- programme.What I want to know is how many kids defected from Compass and now are at ACS.

Seeing how the school has only been operational for less than two weeks, I think it's not yet possible for anyone to give accurate feedback.  It may well be an excellent school, but it's a little early to judge that yet.
