Good, Affordable and Cosmopolitan School in Doha
Hi Guys,
I am currently on the look out for a good, affordable and forward-thinking school in and around doha.
I have read there are a lot of bad schools around, so can anyone suggest some schools with strong teaching and high moral leaning. For starters, someone has muted the idea of checking out CAMBRIDGE ACADEMY & QATAR INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL. Are thy good enough? Your invaluable advise will really help in my quest for a good school for my daughter for 2016/2017 session.
I send my children to Sherborne and I would say I am happy with their education, but I must warn you schools are not cheap here. Also it may help if you mention the region you come from and where you plan to go in 5 -10 years as not a lot of point being in an English system if your going to end up in the USA.
nwosu: My children studied abroad , so I'm sorry I can't give you first hand advice. I'm sure others on QL wil be able to do so.
I would also suggest that you highlight where you are living and the age of your child, so that they can advise on schools within easy reach.
You could also visit the QL Pages section to get a list of some of the schools available.

God luck!
Wild Turkey, enough of the quotes, I need names of schools, please! Thank you.
And I quote the physics Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman: School didn't harm me much. I still ask the same questions that I asked when I was a child.
It's all relative. What is a "good" school? One that breaks the child to become a "good" member of society, or one that supports the talents of a child and lets it grow into an individual personality? I guess all school are trying the first. A "good" child, with the support of its parents will go "unharmed" through any school. If you take the responsibility for your child it doesn't matter which school it goes to. It should be strong enough to resist the "breaking-in" of schools.
Brit, so what exactly do you suggest I do? Do you have any school in mind? I just want some place where my baby will be offered some good education and high moral standard. Please I need your input on this.
Good and affordable do not go hand in hand where education is concerned here
