The 10 Best International Schools in Qatar 2018

ACS Doha is an IB World School
accredited by the Western Association
of Schools and Colleges, with the
membership of the European Council
for International Schools and licensed
by the Ministry of Education in Qatar.
Introducing the new ACS school in
North Doha – Opening August 2020
After opening their first school in Doha
in 2011 and rapidly growing the
number of students due to strong
parent demand for places, ACS Doha
enters an exciting new phase in 2018
as they start to build a new
state-of-the-art campus for 2470
students in partnership with Al Jaber
Group.
The new 60,000sq meter campus,
located in Al Kheesa, north Doha will
open in August 2020, which is almost
three times the size of the current
campus. It will feature world-class
academic, outdoor and recreational
facilities, from future-ready science
labs and libraries to dedicated
buildings for Lower, Middle and High
Schools, and ample parking.
Mr. Ajay Sharma, British Ambassador
to the State of Qatar, was present to
witness the official signing of the
partnership at a special ceremony at
Four Seasons Hotel Doha. Mr. Tim
Cagney, Chief Executive of ACS
International Schools, and Mr.
Mohammed Sultan Al Jaber, Chairman
of Al Jaber Group, acted as signatories
for the partnership agreement.
The new campus will be just 10
kilometers – or a 15-minute
drive – from ACS Doha’s current Al
Gharrafa campus. In addition, the new
campus will benefit from a metro stop
that will be built close by as a part of
Doha’s growing public transport
network. It will also provide an
opportunity for ACS Doha to serve the
educational needs of a significant
number of growing neighborhoods
including Lusail, the Pearl and Um
Salal.
Student Support Programs
ACS Doha accepts students
representing a wide range of
nationalities and different academic
abilities. The school offers various
programs to ensure all students are able
to flourish.
The school’s Learning Support
program is designed to help students
with mild learning difficulties advance
in a mainstream school environment.
The goal of the program is to build
students’ self-awareness, confidence,
and independent study habits so that
they can succeed in their coursework.
The key support services are delivered
via a combination of in-class inclusion
for core academic classes, specialized
small group instructional sessions in
mathematics and literacy
fundamentals.
English as an additional language at
ACS Doha serves the need of
non-English speaking students from
beginners to advanced levels, enabling
them to reach a sufficient degree of
proficiency in the English language to
participate fully in the school's
mainstream classes.
ACS Doha Learning support team
consists of an EAL teacher, Learning
Support teacher and counselor in Early
Childhood section. In Lower School,
they have an EAL teacher, and
Learning Support teacher for each
grade level (1-5), as well as counselor.
