Deputy Principal (Academic)

Bellevue Education, a world class group of schools, has been invited to open and operate a new school in Doha by the Qatari Government. The Swiss International School of Qatar (SISQ), a prestigious international school for students from the age of 3 to 18, will open in Doha in January 2017.  The project is being led by the Attorney General of Qatar, and will provide an outstanding international education for Qatari and international families through the delivery of the International Baccalaureate programmes.

Opening in January 2017 for 3 to 5 year olds, and from September 2017 for all ages up to 16 (and up to age 18 in September 2018), SISQ will occupy a state-of-the-art purpose built campus in the desirable West Bay with capacity for 950 children. Split into three departments, SISQ will consist of a co-educational junior school and two single sex senior schools.

The Deputy Principal will take specific responsibility for the development of the curriculum and academic structures and the management of the day to day routines, to ensure that students become engaged in their development and achieve their potential in all aspects of life and learning.
