I am in a similar position as you Scottish5, I have 4 scottish children with british passports and we are coming to Doha in 2 months. Presenlty my kids are being homeschool here in Oman but with my husband future employer(QP) paying for the schooling I want them to get back into normal schooling asap esp as my eldest is 14 years old. I too am very concerned about the waiting list and was also looking at the Cedars website thinking it might be a stop gap option. So any opinions would be great.
