**About Qatar International School**

QIS was founded by Sheikh Ali bin Ahmed bin Thani Al Thani in 1977, making us one of the first British International Schools in Qatar.

Since then, we have changed and grown significantly - including a move to our current location of Al Dafna in 2001. Indeed, from very small beginnings almost 50 years ago, QIS has now grown into one of the **largest and most prestigious schools** in the country, with more than 2,000 students on role.

In 2015, the school received the highest possible grading from the Qatar National Schools Accreditation programme, when inspected by the country’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education.

Then, in 2020, QIS achieved two highly prestigious international accreditations:
Firstly, QIS was judged to be **‘outstanding’ in every category** of the UK government’s British School Overseas (BSO) inspection framework - only the third school, at the time, in the world ever to have achieved this.

Secondly, in the same year, QIS became the first school in the world to be awarded Council for International Schools (CIS) accreditation by a new fast-track process for outstanding schools. The final CIS report included over 100 individual commendations and helps to make us one of the **most highly regarded** educational establishments in the region.

QIS is also the only school in the Middle East accredited to deliver OLEVI training courses straight from the UK, such as The Outstanding Teacher’s Programme. The school also partners with many other world-renowned training providers to ensure cutting-edge best practice. We are proud to say that quality training for staff is part of the QIS culture.

**Safeguarding**

We require applicants to declare all convictions, cautions and bind-overs, including those regarded as 'spent'. All information provided will be treated as confidential. All applicants, (regardless of position) are requested to read QIS’s safeguarding policy, available on the school website, of our commitment to safeguarding children.

**Secondary School**

The secondary school has approximately 972 students from year 7 - 13. The 6th Form has 190 students.

All English Curriculum staff in secondary are UK trained.

The curriculum that is offered is based on the English National Curriculum. The students study a broad and balanced curriculum in Key Stage 3 (Year 7 - 9) before they begin to specialise in Key Stage 4 (Year 10 & 11) and Key Stage 5 (Year 12 & 13) to match their personal interests and future career aspirations. The students will take International GCSEs in Key Stage 4 and A level and International A Levels in Key Stage 5. We also offer BTEC qualifications in Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5.

**Application**

Qatar International School is a British International private school located in Doha, the capital city of the State of Qatar. The school follows the latest National Curriculum of England and Wales for students ranging between 3 and 18 years of age.

The school is led and managed by British professionals and it strives to maintain the highest standards of the current British education system, whilst also supporting its Arabic culture and international context.

Our long and illustrious history traces its roots back over 40 years to 1977, making us the oldest British International School in Qatar. Under the leadership of our Executive Principal, Deane Baker (who joined us in September 2013), we have achieved various national and international accreditations at the highest levels.
