Hi,
Does anyone know or have any info regarding Newton British School (Al Waab).

Just trying to get a view from others who may have experience about the school's teaching & administrators etc.

Thanks.

...This school is full of well trained and qualified teachers from different areas of Europe and America. The teachers at the school are not only passionate about their job but deliver fun, educational lessons that engage the children and prepare them for their academic life - life long learning.

There are actually no teachers there that are under the age of 22 and young teachers are full of fresh, modern and 'up to date' ideas. The negative and insulting attitude and views that some people have and show to young teachers is extremely sad and disappointing. Lets hope that more people adopt opposite view.

Absolute rubbish! Simonsmithy, you need to go back to school to learn some basic grammar - there, not their.

This topic has been discussed a number of times before. Search previous forums and the results will be self-explanatory.

Regarding alternative schools try Sherborne, Doha College or DESS (Doha English Speaking School). Alternatively, for a USA based education you can try ASD (American School Doha).

Thank you all for your inputs.

Am I too late at looking at better schools for my children who are from the UK?

Which school would you recommend and why? Do you have children in any of the schools (you may have) mentioned?

Thank you.

... and just because they're (most, if not all, teachers) Caucasians, the school thinks they offer better education. What a mentality! But well, that's what usually happens here. Just go with the flow, ranting will give no good anyway. =)

@ i haven't heard very good things about the school but i don't have kids so can't comment on that...what i do know is that the UK has a ridiculously high number of freshly graduated unemployed school teachers...so the "begging" was probably for more experienced teachers but i've seen a few of their teachers as patients & they're barely over 21...ok they might be kindergarten teachers but still,they obviously just graduated yesterday & hopped on the flight here for the tax-free lifestyle,because NO WAY they would get paid what they do here back home,with zero experience...

Thanks for the reply. There are currently no teaching positions available, so I assume the've no resson to beg (?)...

Do you know what the issues are?

Thanks

It does not have a good reputation at all - we know of some UK teachers who where virtually begged to take jobs their - most people are trying to move their kids out of the school
