Novita77, I'm a little bit confused with the "Capital fee" and how long are the terms (How many terms have a grade(year)) basically I would like to know an approximate of how much I will spend per year per child assume the same school that your son. . Any way I have a year to wait about the waiting list, because I'm the only english spoken person on the family, I hope that in one year they can pickup the languaje. For reference the move is from Venezuela to Qatar, Do you know somebody can teach english for spanish spoken persons on Qatar?. Thanks on advance for all your help

Alphaomega ... i dont know which curriculum you will send the kids to.

For your referrals ... my son goes to DESS and the school fees is QR 8600 a term. Every year fees goes up minimum 10 percents sometimes more.

If you send your kids to American School, there is capital fee QR 15000 per year per child.

Your salary is good ... as far as the company paying / giving your housing fully you would be OK. I am only concern about your child's schooling.

Another thing is, you never mention how old your kids are ... very hard to get your kid/s in to a good school in Doha. Everywhere have long waiting list. I suggest you sort the school first before you uprooting the kids from your home country.

it's a good offer...you can negotiate the transportation allowance a bit but it's not something you absolutely need to do.

I suppose you say salary plus housing & insurance. Then not bad. How old are your kids. School fees have gone up a lot and you can search here on QL for schools & check the rates.
