Schooling for my Kids

DrakeSkull
By DrakeSkull

I am desperately looking for a school for my two kids (4 & 5). I have called all the schools that I know of and all are full. I hope someone here can help me get them into a school (budget is 20K to 25K for each kid/annum). Please.

I saw one ad at gulf times.. http://www.psisd.com.qa/ they are new.. I hate some international schools that even ask for an application fee ( 250QAR) and would not even bother emailing you acknowledging your application... even worse they keep receiving limitless number of applications even if they know that no slots would even be available...

@Rupert - I have called almost all schools, even the schools that are beyond my budget, but still in vain. So when can we know about these new schools? Can we share knowledge when these news come out?

@qnewlife - i have talked to all international schools really but, as I said, no slots are available.

Visiting International School is the answer you are looking for. Great school, American curriculum, etc. Good luck!

I share your frustration! We are looking for our 4yo. Apparently the Supreme Education Council are set to approve 28 new schools for the coming school year - but who and where they are (and if they are any good) is anyones guess.
