I am relocating as well this summer. My husband is already there and having a very difficult time finding a space for our oldest son in school.
However, I am a 3rd grade teacher and a I have just taken a job at Hayat Universal Bilingual School. All the teachers hired are certified from English speaking countries. It is a fully accredited school through the British Columbia (Canadian) system which is supposed to be one of the best world wide. It will be opening its doors for the first time in Qatar this year and has not yet started enrollment. The down side is that it will go only up to 3rd grade this year.

It is a bilingual school so students will have both English and Arabic education from Kindergarten. The principal is American and seems very good.
Otherwise put in applications all over and see if one is accepted. Let me know how it works out and what you find. I need a school for my fourth grader too and would like to know what you discover.
Good Luck,
Rachel
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
