International Schools in Doha, Qatar

Doha’s international schools include a wide mix of curricula - most commonly the National Curriculum for England (British), the International Baccalaureate (IB), American programmes and Indian (CBSE) schools - with other national and European systems also present. Instruction is generally in English, while Arabic is a compulsory part of the programme for most pupils and many schools offer additional modern languages such as French, Spanish and German. Annual tuition varies a lot by school and year group, but families typically see fees in a broad band from roughly QAR 20,000 up to QAR 80,000, with many mid-range schools charging in the QAR 30,000 - 65,000 area. The school year in Doha starts in late August or early September and the busiest application window is the winter/spring before that intake; popular entry points (early years, Year 1 and Year 7) often fill first, so early enquiries and multiple applications are common. Relocating families should be ready with attested recent school reports, vaccination records, passport and visa documents and should check each school’s year-group cut-off and policies on English support or special educational needs before accepting an offer.
