Never normally comment on forums but felt compelled to after reading the assumptions from someone who clearly does not know what they are talking about with regards Sherborne Qatar. Firstly HH The Heir Apparent Sheikh Tamim attended Sherborne UK and believed that Qatar would benefit in having a similar school model in Doha, hence they came. They are the only Sherborne School owned by Sherborne UK. I am a teacher in Qatar (not Sherborne) myself and am not rich! However my company allows me to send my children wherever I want to school, and pays. As most companies do to differing degrees. I send my children to Sherborne and am very happy with the school. As the last post said, choose whatever school you feel suits your child. ACS is a young school that has a good history in other parts of the world. Beware of posters who slate one school over another. Visit the schools and get a feel. Good luck in making the right choice.
