Glad to hear you have school placement already. Beverly Hills Al Rayyan is a great compound, from my outsider perspective. It has a lot of families and facilities and relatively easy access onto the highway if you are going anywhere else. It will sure make your stay here easier to have home close to school with three little ones. Compass is apparently one of the better English medium schools accepting English 2nd language pupils. There may well be some other Italian families to meet through the school. Have seen Spanish playgroups advertised on Doha Mums, not sure the strength of the Italian community as such, in Doha or in Al Rayyan but sure there will be some somewhere! Would recommend you facilitate your families membership with Doha Mums for the invaluable support to be found there. Mom can then surely also pick up English quicker in parallel with your 6yo ;-)
