My son is in grade 2. I agree with the comment that the school is in its teething stage being in operation for its third year. Its growth has not matched the capacity building necessary for the infrastructure to become settled. However, we have had two good years so far and from my perspective as an educator, my son is happy and gaining as good an education as can be expected in an education system I describe as flexible. I think our experience is largely based on the fact that we have been lucky with the teachers we have had. Our first year was dodgy at the beginning with some issues relating to bullying which the school addressed promptly. I have found the admin to be responsive generally. My son is in class of multicutural backgrounds and is reading above his age group. Homework is regular and organised though lacking in feedback to parents. The school has great potential and as parents we need to identify what we are looking for in circumstances where choices are limited. I have found the Arabic and Islamic instruction below standards and have opted for a private support in those areas but that is generaaly the case in Qatar.
