British primaries: DESS or Doha College Primary School.

ASD is very good, but follows the US system.

DESS has better facilities than Doha College, but I preferred the staff I met at Doha College when I visited that school, so I sent my son there.

It's best to visit the schools and see which suits you. There are a few others that you might hear about. Park House, Cambridge, Compass. Visit them and see what you think, but most people would agree on Doha College, DESS and ASD as being good schools.

Qatar Academy is a popular choice, and has good facilities. It follows the IB curriculum.

The popular schools might be full for year beginning September 2009, but it might be worthwhile getting your name on waiting lists, as some people always leave over the summer and don't return.
