Secondary School Admission

My husband has just got a job in Doha. Presently, my children are studying in Dubai. The older one has just been accepted in Dubai College (starting Year 7 from September 2012). The younger one will be in Year 5 in September. Both of them are going to good schools and doing well in their classes. Can any one let me know what are the secondary school options in Doha? We are not thinking of moving immediately, but want to explore comparable school options in Doha for a possible move in the future.

They're in UK curriculum schools right now, but I'm flexible on curriculum as long as the teaching, facilities and pastoral care are good.

Doha College is a good choice if you manage to get a place there.

has a great reputation but usually that also means a long waiting list. Good Luck

If they are doing the British system, I suggest Doha College or Parkhouse (mainly expat students). Otherwise, if you can get in, Qatar Academy does IB.

Good luck!
