About Qatar International School

Qatar International School is a British International private school located in Doha, the capital city of the State of Qatar. The school follows the latest National Curriculum of England and Wales for students ranging between 3 and 18 years of age.

The school is led and managed by British professionals and it strives to maintain the highest standards of the current British education system, whilst also supporting its Arabic culture and international context.

Our long and illustrious history traces its roots back over 40 years to 1977, making us the oldest British International School in Qatar. Under the leadership of our Executive Principal, Deane Baker (who joined us in September 2013), we have achieved various national and international accreditations at the highest levels. We hold numerous high achievement awards for our international examination success.

Education is highly valued in Qatar. This means our school enjoys working with extremely supportive parents and wonderfully enthusiastic, highly motivated students.

Children are taught in Key Stages from KS1 through to KS5 and examinations are taken in GCSE, IGCSE and A Levels using UK examination boards. The vast majority of students leaving QIS move onto higher education in leading universities all over the world but most especially the UK, USA, Canada, UAE, and Qatar itself. The vast majority of teaching staff are UK-trained, and the school prides itself on ensuring it keeps up to date with the best international practice in education and learning.

In 2001 the school moved to its current, purpose-built campus in the Diplomatic Quarter of Dafna, close to the skyscrapers and business centre of West Bay. Here, under the ownership of the founder’s son, Sheikh Khalid bin Ali bin Ahmad Al Thani, the school continues to thrive – expanding and developing its excellent specialist facilities. These include science laboratories, ICT suites, a swimming pool, playing fields, and a large sports hall.

Our student body is truly international, with over 60 different nationalities represented within the current cohort. While the teaching staff are predominantly from the UK and the curriculum is taught in English, the school is adept at integrating students from a wide variety of cultural and academic backgrounds.

We hope you will enjoy browsing our website and we look forward to welcoming you to the school in future.
