About Us

Qatar International School ranks among the leading international schools in Qatar and the wider Middle East, holding the prestigious BSO ‘Gold Standard’. Our recent BSO report (2023) stated:

“Qatar International School delivers an excellent British education that fully meets the needs of its students: they enjoy school, learn effectively, and thrive.”

“The students at QIS display remarkable enthusiasm for learning and demonstrate exceptional behavior, reflecting their strong motivation to excel academically. Their behavior is outstanding, as is their attendance, indicating high levels of enjoyment.”

“Relationships at all levels foster a highly positive learning environment where children flourish. Adults effectively nurture children’s personal development and well-being.”

Our Primary School, currently accommodating around 1,100 students, is a vibrant, enjoyable, and multicultural learning environment. It provides a nurturing and engaging atmosphere where both children and staff are encouraged to explore and develop their curiosity.

Throughout each Key Stage, our students engage with a creative, skills-based curriculum, employing methodologies such as 'I wonder' and continuous provision (EYFS), continuous provision/thematic learning (KS1), and thematic learning (KS2). Specialist lessons in Arabic, Islamic Studies, PE, French, Music, and DT are integrated into students’ personalized timetables, further enriching our broad and balanced curriculum. Our class teachers are well-trained in programs like Talk 4 Writing and Read-Write-Inc, which enhance the learning experience. Classes are supported by qualified and experienced Learning Support Practitioners.
