I just want to keep anonymous, and I'm going to be mostly writing about secondary (high school) years. I love this school and I think the syllabus is more laid back than the syllabus back at my home country in some part of Asia that is not in the gulf, since the current curriculum is from Cambridge, it's more objective-focused for your future. They have a no phone policy and a morning and afternoon registration. They don't have Music class in secondary years. For the Arts, it is available in secondary years. It follows the IGCSE syllabus, so you basically have to make lots of A3 paper projects called preps as a part of the requirements. Smaller art projects are also included in that! So, it makes focusing on other, more crucial subjects difficult when you have Art projects that need to be done. Also, Cambridge grades the preps very strictly, so it is quite difficult to get A*s... There won't be Art in year 12, unlike in other schools, just so you know. For languages, I took French as a foreign language. Arabic is mandatory for all Muslims who hold Arab passports or just Arab passport holders. There are Arabic foreign language and Arabic first language; I think Arab passport holders are required to take the 1st language one. For English, there are English 2nd and English 1st language subjects for you to choose from. Islamic studies are also a requirement for some. For other subjects such as maths and sciences, there are a plentiful amount of online textbooks, resources, physical handouts, and physically given textbooks and workbooks for experiments in the Science dep. that are provided. The teachers are also very willing to help... But the fault is on my side since I have always been too ashamed to ask questions, and I procrastinate a lot. I guess that's why I got a barely passing grade for Maths Extended, lol (skill issue, TWT). There is Maths Core (the simpler one) and Maths Extended (the more extensive one). Sports is alright, never liked it though. They had fitness checks, badminton, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, and that's about it. Then, there are the facilities. The football field is big, there are playgrounds and a pool for only primary students to use during break and P.E. There are some janitors who clean up the classrooms and hallways after the students. So, overall, the campus is kept pretty clean! Some of the classrooms are also laboratories in the science dep., so there is no singular lab room, and laptops are given out for learning in secondary years; however, there are computer rooms that also function as classrooms. Some counselors help with behavioral things, and others help with what subjects to take in year 10, 11, and 12 (and 13?) and with uni stuff. Lastly, there is the behavior of the students. There are occasional fights and occasional vapers; rebellious students are really just unavoidable. The school is trying to make it better, though.

This school is one of the worst schools in Qatar, and trust me, I know a lot about many schools here and I鈥檝e got to say this is at the bottom of the list. First off, the school lies about having British staff when you can barely find any British teachers here. 85% of them are Lebanese who don鈥檛 understand anything about education and teaching. They only put YouTube videos, go through presentation slides for 3 minutes and call that teaching. They tell the kids to teach themselves. Kids leave the school without learning anything new. It is disgusting they take 40,000 QR per year when the school doesn鈥檛 even do its job! I will definitely be removing my child from this school this year and taking them to another school. If you want a REAL, BRITISH school, don鈥檛 take your kids here!! Take them to a public school instead. At least you鈥檙e not paying 40,000 and your kids don鈥檛 even learn anything!!!! This school should be closed.
