Advice on locations for housing

Lucasilves
By Lucasilves

Hi all,

We'd be shortly relocating to Doha. Me first, my wife and kids shortly thereafter. We need to indicate a preferred location for the housing and accommodation.

Our thinking was to look for accommodation based on the children's potential schools:
a) That would cut down travel time for the kids, right?
b) Perhaps even let them travel back home on their own?

Could somebody advise where most of the majority of the schools are located? Specifically for grades 4 and 6 and above? E.g. we know that Newton has a location in Barwa (southerly). Whereas London International School and International British School near the Doha Festival City (north). For the education, we are seeking mostly European curricula.

My workplace would be near Al-Matar. And I am hoping my wife's as well. We are currently looking at Barwa, and Al Wakrah.

Opinions? ideas? Feedback

Thanks a ton!
