Moving to Doha with kids

Hello Doha!

I am planning to relocate to Doha with my family and have plenty of questions. However, I've listed the most important ones below and would really appreciate responses:

i) what are the annual fees at the international schools in Doha for grades 1 and 8;
ii) what are the typical annual rental fees for 3BR property in a family friendly area of Doha.

Any information is highly appreciated.

If you are having problems finding a school there are still a few places left at Cedars for the start of the autumn term.

Further information and an online application form can be found at www.cedarstutoring.com

Best of luck.

You might want to postpone your arrival here after August. Summer here is so....boring and unbearable for kids. The school won't start until September 19 so you have plenty of time to look for school and apartment.

Addition to above mentioned schools, check out Cedars, Canadian, Compass international schools as well. Google and check out their websites for more info. Try www.google.com.qa instead of general. I find it more useful.

Ain Khaled, Beverly Hill or Al Fardan Gardens are kids friendly neighborhoods.

Good Luck
