Montessori School
Hi all,
I have just arrived in Doha and am in the process of listing my children for various British schools. One of the many emails I saw prior to my arrival advised against Montessori as a choice. Now it was only one email but it has sown a seed of doubt, all other published info seems to be of the opposite opinion.
I will of course visit and make my own mind up but if any one has any personal experiences I would appreciate the imput.
Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, in Doha parents often have little or no choice about which school or schools for their children. This is because there is such a shortage of school places, so some schools will not even give you a place on the waiting list! Another thing to bear in mind is the dreadful traffic in Doha. For some parents of young children, the "best" school is not really an option because it is on the "wrong" side of Doha.
On a more positive note, I used to teach at a school in Doha (not DBMS) and I heard some good things about this school. The new school buildings are a huge improvement. I got to know two of the lady teachers at Doha British, a lovely Romanian and a great South African.
I have 2 children at the Doha Montessori & British School, in Primary & Secondary, they love it and I have no complaints......can only give positive feedback, there will always be those with negative comments so best to check out the school for yourself
