General Information

Doha is home to a growing number of international schools that serve a diverse and rapidly expanding expatriate community. Many curricula are offered – American, International (IB), British, French, Indian, and others.

Because of the growth in the expatriate population in Doha, the demand for seats is extremely high.

Many schools are operating at or over capacity, and acceptance generally depends on the availability in particular grade levels.

In some cases, the school of choice is not available, or entrance requires a wait of 6 months or a year. In general, flexibility and patience are required when searching for and gaining acceptance to a suitable school for your child/children.

If you have questions not addressed in the following piece or want to discuss the options, please contact the following Georgetown SFS-Qatar staff:
