Why the tuition fee is so high? Is there a reason? Because they provide the best teachers in Doha? My kid was accepted there...I like their school facilities more than Newton(terrible!!!), for example. But I have know idea about teaching there. Is it good?
I know some families who get 100%, even nursery. Oil, construction, banking - from what I have seen they tend to get 100%. My husband, with the Olympic Federation, gets zero.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
our kids were there last year, but we have transferred them to a cheaper and better school. Can't say where as 'someone' will work out who i am. Kids did ok, but were not at all challenged. Biggest issue is the student mix and the site. It's too small now (around 200 kids I understand), so they have lunch in the classroom and take turns at playing outside. Quality of ed. is basic. Owing to language difficulties, (loads of Dutch and Danes) it's lowest common denominator stuff. But if your kids are bright, even the schools that are 'closed' will interview and test. Ours are now going to one that has been full for 4 years, but we didn't have to wait as they did v well on the entrance exam. Hamdulillah. And the fees? As said above, "because they can"...
All the schools are expensive. Why? Because the demand is higher than the offer. Also everyting has gone up. Rents, salaries, food. Everything. You can look at the school database on this page and see the rates all of them are charging. You can be lucky that your kid have a place.
I am afraid if it is about school you have no choice. Either take it or leave it. I hv some friends who sending their kids to compass and so far they are happy.
Besides ... you have to remember 'you get what you pay for'.

HMC only reimburses maximum of 21,000 per child per year and maximum of 3 children.
How much does other companies re-imburse, do they reimburse whatever the fee is?
