Hello, I am new to this site and a new mover to Doha (not yet in doha but would be around mid august), I would like to know how difficult it is to find international school seats for my children who will not be arriving to Qatar before end of september. Bearing in mind that no pre-registration has been arranged. At this time of the year it is difficult to get any answer to emails or phone calls from schools so I gave up trying. Your advice is needed, thanks.

Most school require qualifying examinations before classes starts. You may wanna contact your preferred school beforehand so you can fix all the requirements before you bring your children. School starts at september, you arrive at mid-august? You may not finish their requirements.

As baldrick says, it is very difficult as there are more students than spaces!

Most schools only close at the end of June so I'm surprised you are not getting any replies. If I were you, I would keep trying!

The new school year starts around 11 Sept and if you wait until then, you might find yourself home-schooling your children!
