BEST PRIMARY SCHOOL IN DOHA

You're better off looking at nurseries instead of pre-school. Most decent pre-schools will only take children who have already been to nursery. I recommend Appletree & Starfish.

Here is a list of best results achieved by individual school at last PISA tests (OECD organized).

i'll be moving to Doha by end of summer and am anxious to put my 3yr old in a good school or nursery. let me know what are options you've found.

I heard that Starfish is the best in Doha. Maybe you should actually go and look at some pre-schools/nurseries yourself.

Ok i live near Toy'r'us in Bin mahmoud, can someone tell the name of a preschool that is good. I sent my son to little Angels but didn't like it. It has poor management and i didn't like the attitude. The teachers are really not happy with the mngt and that makes for a bad environment. Also my son came home with nail marks on his arms, i did not like that at all. It looks good from the outside, but honestly the attitude is bad. So i took him out of preschool, mostly out of fear. However, now i want to put him back, and wanted to know of a good preschool, i just can not go through another round of him getting hurt.

If you are planning to go back to America, then ASD is your best option, because, as far as I know, it is the only school that follows a US curriculum. Their website is very informative. ASD is where most American children go to school, including embassy-related children. They do not start until pre-k (four years old), so looking for a good preschool is probably your best option and then enrolling your child in ASD for the following. Space is limited for Pre-K, and so my understanding is that applying on the first day possible is important--this is usually a day in the autumn, but the website can help.

In terms of good preschools, there are several, and where you live will make a difference. There are MANY threads on this side with parents discussing the merits of each. I have heard very good things about Appletree and Starfish.

Joining Doha Moms is a good resource too, even if just until you settled. If you plan to life in a large compound, you'll find that people are friendly and more than happy to assist and share information (virtually everyone here was a new person at one time or another too!).

Good luck!

I am ok with either british or IB curriculum, but would prefer IB since we are from America and are planning on going back. I am just really stressed out, i want to give my son the best education and opportunities out there. I don't know what to do. he is 2 years old and i need him to get involved and start learning. Things are so hard here as far as proper education, environment, etc..

I would highly recommend Starfish, this school is best suited for your child/ They've got a highly qualified teachers and the facilities are great also!!! Check it out!!! If your child is already on reception age, i will recommend, the Sherborne Qatar. Education is very important for a developing child....Goodluck!!!

ASD does not start until 4 years old, DESS is having interviews for places now, but it is very hard to get a place with a sibling or British passport (and even then, rather hard). DESS is excellent, however. Compass is worth a look, as it following an international/British curriculum. I have heard good things also about Doha College and Park House for parents looking for a British curriculum.

Thanks, i dont think i want to send my son to Indian schools. this TNGQAtar, what cirriculum is it? anyone have experience with the American School, or Doha College, doha english speaking school.
