Developing the whole child
Our youngest learners are educated through a play-based approach grounded in the Creative Curriculum.
The teachers create learning experiences where constructive purposeful play, interactions with the physical environment and partnering with families are most valued.
Students take ownership with teacher support to lead in various activities. Their hard work reached key milestones:
- First school in Qatar to install a NAAAS-approved aquaponic greenhouse
- Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC) School Sustainability Award
- Eco Schools Green Flag Award!
We start preparing our students to be university-ready from the moment they step foot into high school.
With 18+ Advanced Placement (AP) courses and internships (at no extra cost) to gain first-hand career experience, there are many opportunities to earn college or university credit.
