A co-educational, for-profit American/IB day school in Al Kheesa, Doha, offering the rare combination of a full IB continuum (PYP, MYP and Diploma) alongside a NEASC-accredited US High School Diploma with AP courses. Founded as a Doha campus in 2011 and IB-authorized since 2013, it gives internationally-mobile families a genuine American-plus-IB alternative to Doha's British-curriculum schools. It caps at our A-tier because Qatar publishes no graded public inspectorate verdict.
A long-established (2006), co-educational, English-National-Curriculum-through-IGCSE/A-Level school — with an alternative IB Diploma track — operating across three Doha campuses under for-profit operator Nord Anglia Education. It holds a current UK BSO inspection (Penta International, Feb 2024) that judged every standard 'Good'; because Qatar publishes no graded public inspectorate and the report carries no verbatim 'Outstanding' band, it sits at our A-tier.
The flagship IB World School of Qatar Foundation and the first school in Qatar authorized to deliver the full IB continuum — PYP, MYP and Diploma — across ages 3 to 18. As a bilingual Arabic-English school inside Education City, it pairs IB rigour with a substantial Arabic-language and Qatari-identity programme. Backed by Qatar Foundation's non-profit endowment, it sits at our A-tier: deeply accredited (CIS, NEASC, IB) but uncapped by any graded public inspection band, because Qatar — unlike the UAE — does not publish one.
