I have been studying at PISQ for over 11 years since I was 3 and from what I see is the school has minimum of little to none in trying to progress the school, the invironment is just not healthy for a student to stay. In the classrooms need a lot of repairing, the air conditioning is very weak and some classroom’s have brand new air conditioning but they are still funded by the students parents. I am honestly disappointed that the school has done very little to make there school a so called “international” school that also means that the school is a “Private school. For my last year in PISQ the only thing i have seen a bit of progress in is Building “A” the building is for the NKP department also to the registrar and the principal the registrar is a very hectic spot for parents because in the morning when parents try to buy or pay for there children’s needs they have to wait in a line in the middle of the NKP hall way we’re children from 3-6 years old go to and the parents that have to bring the children to the classroom have to go through a mob of people just to reach the child’s classroom. And the registrar is very dirty and unprofessional what I’ve seen there is the papers, folders,binders and trophy’s scattered every where it’s very unsanitary since they also have a mirowave there behind the lady responsible with the Billings and school supplies they also sell PISQ merchandise’s,and PE uniforms that are just cluttered every where beside the lady it’s in piles of plastic bags or boxes on her left is the school supplies they sell the the shelf is the divider because behind the shelf is another women with a higher position but her situation is very similar to the registrar. They also have another register in front of the main one, the other one also does the same thing but he’s male and he is also in a cluttered room by him self but the things in the room are all school supplies his so called “office” is just a storage area that is just one of the building in the school they have in total of 6 buildings. building A,B,C1,C2,D and E they also only have 2 nurses in the whole school which are always unavailable for very pointless reasons its either there having there break or with the other teachers have a talk they should be always in there clinic’s because you never know when A student is in need of assistance alot of my friends have been in alot of accidents and the nurse is always out so they have to take care of them selves the nurse’s office is very far to some students so having only 2 nurses is very in inconvenient and very dangerous especially in student’s in elementary they are very restless and energetic you never know what could happen in highschool there are still a lot happening especially since they have TLE and Science you never know they might have cuts or mishaps happening. So I hope they hire more nurses in the school to Rome around the school Incase anything happen’s, from my experiences in PISQ the classrooms are very dirty and hectic the students are stuffed in to a classroom the size of an NKP Playroom/Cclassrooom and the minimum amount of students they have are in the lines of 25+ And the AC’s are very old and as I said some are new but funded the electric fans are very dirty. Imagine an electric fan that hasn’t been cleaned for over 2-3 years just imagine the amount of dust piled in there, I personally have skin ashma and ashma in general and they are (different) si it is very difficult for me to do my school work with out being uncomfortable or have to take an absent to relive my self from that environment. The computer labs are also a problem they are very old or generally broken but they don’t do anything to fix it they will just transfer you to a different seat and they also ricently added a WiFi router in the computer lab but it is very slow and very pointless since they don’t let the student use it or sometimes they let them use it if they are done with there assigned work but it’s hardly ever going to happen since the highschool computer lab is the only one that has WiFi but the school work is very difficult for a lot of students so only the smarter students get to use it (don’t tell me that study harder it’s not that hard) you’re wrong because computer coding is very difficult especially in highschool. To be honest please just remove it, it’s very unnecessary and use less. There TLE lab is very small it’s the size of there classroom’s and they don’t have the tools they show in the books or if they have them they are either broken or off limit or just broken. The science lab is very very small they have different kind of labs but everything is still the same except for the names they are very small and the equipment are always off limits or just broken and very old. The hall ways are very big and the gate leading to the Parking lot has an AC’s a split AC. But the janitors don’t have a proper place to stay in they are always under the stares wish there other colleagues with there things there it is very in sanitary and sad to see that they don’t have a proper place to stay in and they don’t have proper clothes to work in, and the teachers have the smallest faculties I have ever seen their room is usually filled up to 8 teachers and they are usually given desk and a plastic chair to use for the whole 3-4 years of there stay. they are usually very hectic or chaotic with there thing filed up and there students projects assignments in there tables is a tall tower. This is the end of my very long phragraph I am an 14 year old former student of PISQ and I am currently tranferring to PSD to start my 3rd year of HighSchool and my even if the schools condition is very unhealthy the people there are very nice and friendly but some of the teachers are very strict or mean but it is ok but sometimes they get to harsh but I understand them since the Di handle 200+ students everyday but they are still very nice and passionate in there work I just hope that one they the school became what they say they are an International Private school of Doha my memories in PISQ will hold a very sacred place in my Heart but I do hope that they will rebuild PISQ make it better like PSD so they will gain back the students they lost over the years and I hope they will alow former student to visit the school considering that they still have friends there or what they call family. I have been studying there since I was 3 as I said and I will be transferring to PSD to start my 3rd year or highschool PISQ will still hold a special place in my heart but the conditions are just unbearable at this point so I will now say goodbye to the school and enter a new one but PISQ is still different the people are different but the school just need help the owner needs to help the school Qatar needs to see that PISQ needs financial support.

im not bias but the environment of PISQ is awful. i just want to share incase may PISQ na makabasa. There are alot of parents or visitors smoking inside the premises. Is that what you want to show your kids specially at school. And make PISQ presentable the name international doesn't fit the look. - my comment is to improve PISQ.

For PSD - improving but the space is a problem. i think theres not enough rooms or (im not sure) to entertain new students in the middle of a year, just inquire. i think it depends on which level or grade,

In deciding the best school available for your children is by considering some pointers:

1. location-how does this school near to your home?

-is the school's route more non-traffic/safe?

2. budget -is the monthly income/salary of the parents to educate their children in the particular school.

3. nationality-your children must be educated on the school corresponding to their mother tongue or languages they are likely to be capable of.

4. health -consider the atmosphere or the temperature of the school.

-is a certain sickness to the location might be epidemic/endemic.

5.surroundings-make sure the school is a clean and green environment or environment-friendly.

6.population-consider the crowdedness of the school particularly with students with phobia's to confined spaces

7.family planning-what the family decides or votes with is 50% of the best solution.

HOPE YOU GET THE BEST SCHOOL POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN =).
