Hi
Does anyone know of this school? We are looking for a school for our daughter who is turning 6. Is it good, bad, how are the facilities and academically is it a strong school, any other opinions?
We have no knowledge about the school so any information would be a great help.
It is so difficult because we are not there and can only go on what forums and their website say. So any advice would be much appreciated
thank you.

Qatar Academy is only for Qataris and the Staff working in Qatar Foundation.

i know so many people who have kids there - GO FOR IT! You don't necessarily have to work in QF those i know don't work in QF but there is probably priority for those employed there along with Qataris but generally there are waiting lists all over Qatar, as I'm sure you know, so you just have to try and see.
