About the School
United School International is a newly established institution located in the prestigious Pearl Development in Doha, Qatar, a residential area reclaimed from the Arabian Gulf. This development comprises a blend of spacious high-rise apartments and luxurious villas, currently housing around 33,000 residents. Once fully completed in two years, this population is expected to grow to approximately 50,000.
This initiative results from a promising partnership between Orbital Education and United Development Company, a highly respected Qatari organization responsible for the development of The Pearl. It marks the second major educational establishment in Doha launched by Orbital Education, following the success of the well-regarded Oryx International School, established in collaboration with Qatar Airlines.
The school delivers a British style of education based on the English National Curriculum while incorporating local culture and traditions into its curriculum framework. The exceptional facilities, along with our educational philosophy, will position the school as a leading international institution in Qatar.
Living and Working in Doha
Doha, the capital city with over 2.7 million residents, features a diverse international community that thrives in this environment. Qatar offers a remarkable lifestyle, blending various cultures with a rich historical backdrop.
The Middle Eastern climate provides pleasant weather throughout the year, though summers can be quite hot. There are numerous opportunities for exploration within Qatar, supported by excellent resources.
