Doha Academy is a group of nationally (“QNSA”) and internationally (“NEASC”) accredited independent, co-educational schools situated in Doha, Qatar. Between them, Doha Academy’s three schools offer a KG to Year 12 British-based education comprising the “Birth to Five Matters” Early Years curriculum and the National Curriculum for England for Year 1 – 12 students. The schools also deliver the Qatar National Curriculum in Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Qatar History.

Doha Academy is an inclusive group of schools, comprising Doha Academy Al Waab, Doha Academy Salwa, and Doha International Kindergarten (DIKg) – all in the heart of Doha and within a ten minute drive of each other. The group warmly welcomes students aged between 3 and 18 years, ultimately preparing students for the UK-assessed International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations in Year 10 & 11, and Advanced Subsidiary (AS) and Advanced Level (AL) examinations in Year 12.

Doha Academy was founded by Dr. Sheikha Aisha Bint Faleh Al Thani in September 2000, and has grown to offer places to around 2,000 students representing on average 55 nationalities. The group’s vision is to provide an outstanding education, accessible to all, and based upon Islamic values.

In addition to an emphasis upon literacy and numeracy development, Doha Academy aims to develop the ‘whole child’, believing that children thrive best when given a broad base of learning opportunities. Hence the Academy’s curriculum remains broad throughout students’ career, becoming more specialised from Year 10 as students select from option ‘blocks’ of subjects in readiness for further specialization in Year 12.
