Sean-C, try to keep your cool and your (biased) opinion for yourself; "mainsteam education"!? "Mainstream is, generally, the common current thought of the majority. However, the mainstream is far from cohesive (!); rather the concept is often considered a cultural construct" (Wikipedia - not the best source, but I like the comment)

Does anyone have good or bad experience with Al-Arqam, Iqraa, or AL-Maha?
How about the one in the education city, I believe it's called Qatar Academy?

Thanks.
