Your HR contact should have been aware of this probability. Getting into a Western school is difficult at the best of times - arriving after the school year has started makes it virtually impossible.

Doha College has a good rep but I doubt you'll find a space there either. As I don't have children myself I can't comment knowledgeably about the schools here.

Hopefully someone else can assist.

In the meantime, put his name on the waiting list for the 2 schools you mentioned - maybe someone will be leaving?
