Primary Arabic Teacher

About us

Doha College is a high-profile, leading not-for-profit, British International School for children aged 3–18. Its vision is to enable personal growth, instil a passion for learning, and create aspirational minds, whilst offering a well-balanced, all-embracing curriculum that follows the English National Curriculum. It was the first High Performance Learning accredited school in the world and has consistently outstanding educational achievements and excellent examination results at all stages. 

We have been established in Qatar for over 40 years under the patronage of the British Embassy. This is an exceptional opportunity to play a part in the continual improvement of a school with an already renowned worldwide reputation for excellence. With 2,500 students and 350 staff, the school is a vibrant international community that subscribes to equal opportunities for all. An exciting time for the school, last year we moved to a brand-new, 90,000m² state-of-the-art campus, amalgamating two previous sites and ensuring the College’s place at the forefront of educational provision in world-class facilities.

Qatar

A combination of old-world hospitality and cosmopolitan sophistication mean that Qatar is a country like no other, and its capital Doha is a city that has something for everyone. Performances, museums and galleries make for a captivating cultural scene; city hotspots such as the busy markets and the waterfront promenade are a great way to spend a day; there is a lively night-life that means that there is plenty to do when the sun goes down; the Pearl Qatar offers luxury and elegance; there are some breath-taking areas of natural beauty; and lovers of sport and adventure can enjoy numerous clubs and activities.

The imminent arrival of the FIFA World Cup in 2022 will make it a very special place to be. Whether you will be looking to move with your family or to come on your own, you are guaranteed a warm welcome.
