There are also some IB curriculum schools as an alternative to British curriculum if you cannot get into an American school - e.g. International School of London Qatar (ISLQ)

I can't comment on which of the above are better though.

The American School of Doha is the only one. Don't bother with Compass. It is NOT International- it is strictly British. (As we learned the hard way..)

Many American parents are now opting for ACS if they cannot get into The American school.

My advice as an American whose kids go to ASD> Get on the waiting list now, then contact ACS.

How quickly you get into ASD will also depend on where you work.

The American School of Doha is the main American school, although quite a few Americans also opt for the international curriculum (largely British-based) schools, such as Compass. The strictly British schools (DESS and Doha College) cater primarily to British passport holders.

If you search for these schools on this site, you will find quite a few threads discussing both of them.
