About us

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 select number of schools in the world to hold BSO’s ‘Gold Standard’.

Our 2023 BSO report wrote:

‘The students’ high regard for their school and educators was highlighted during the inspection visit, where they spoke positively and with admiration about the quality of education and the excellence of their teachers.’

‘The school’s ABC of Aspiring to Excellence, Building Futures and Celebrating Diversity are embedded in the school’s vision. Core values in QIS are in line with British culture and reflect the character of the school.’

‘An empowered staff team, who value their role and make a positive difference to students and their families.’

We follow the latest National Curriculum for England, and all our non-Arabic teachers have either taught or been trained under the UK system. We have about 2,000 students ranging from 3 to 18 years of age.

We provide an outstanding education to all our students, who regularly achieve some of the best results in the world.
