QIS is one of the best international schools both in the nation of Qatar and in the wider Middle East region - we are one of a selected number of schools in the world to hold BSO’s ‘Gold Standard’. Our recent BSO report (2023) wrote:
“Qatar international School offers an excellent British education that fully meets the needs of its students: as a result, they enjoy school, learn well and thrive”.

“The students at QIS are characterised by their remarkable enthusiasm for learning and their exceptional behaviour, which unequivocally reflect their profound motivation to excel academically. Students’ behaviour is exceptional, as is their attendance in school indicating high levels of enjoyment”.

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

Our School - currently comprised of about 2,150 students aged from 3 to 18 - is a vibrant, fun and multicultural place of learning. It offers an engaging and warm environment, where children and staff alike are on a journey of continuous learning.

Across each Key Stage in Primary, our students enjoy a creative, skills based, curriculum delivered through 'I wonder' and continuous provision (EYFS), continuous provision /thematic learning (KS1), and thematic learning (KS2). Specialist lessons for Arabic, Islamic Studies, PE, French, Music, and DT form part of students’ personalised timetables, supporting further our broad and balanced curriculum offer.
