Our long and successful history is reflected in the exceptional outcomes our students deliver - including their performances in external examinations, which well exceed almost all schools of our type globally and even many of the most selective independent schools in the UK. Beyond academics, we are committed to educating the whole child and providing them with not only the most extensive array of co-curricular opportunities but also with the character, heart, skills and attributes that will allow them to excel whatever their future holds. Our impressive campus houses outstanding facilities that fully support and extend the curriculum. Doha College’s achievements have seen it named as one of the top private schools in the world in the prestigious Spear’s School Index and receive numerous outstanding inspection and accreditation reports. Beyond all these accolades, the positivity, compassion and tenacity our students exhibit ensure that we are able to offer a unique, forward-thinking, inspiring and innovative education. I look forward to meeting you and showing you all that Doha College has to offer.
