With all the long waiting lists for children getting into the private schools, what happens? Are there many home school groups or private tutor groups in Doha? Or do families go back to their home countries until they can get a place. Any feedback on this will be appreciated.
If you are interested. There is now a new online British school at http://britishschoolonline.eu/primary-education/ which could be an ideal route to take. It costs only 1200 Euros a year, or 600 Euros a year if you only want to teach your children English. It is worth looking into.
I'm a qualified teacher and will be moving to Qatar in 2013. I've been teaching KS2 - GCSE for 17 years. I teach Maths & English (British Curriculum). I'm wanting to teach from home. Do you know if this is an option in Doha?
My granddaughter, son, and I will be moving to Qatar in a few days. Rather than try to get my granddaughter into a school for the remainder of the school year, I would like to home school her. I am a certified teacher in the U. S. I'm looking for people to contact regarding a home school curriculum for 5th grade. Please help.
Doha Home Educators has a new website at DohaHomeEducators.com and email address at [email protected]. These changes will allow the contact information to stay the same regardless of who is running the group.
Please DO NOT call the above number, my phone number has changed. It is better to go to the yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DohaHomeEducators/
Just wondering if you could provide us with information regarding the group of home-schooling parents. Friends of us are not being able to register their kids in nothing but waiting lists! Any help would be appreciated!
I have been corresponding with your wife, A - we live in the same compound. I know of a family in our compound who homeschools; I don't know if she's part of a group, but I can try to hook you up if you'd like.
I owe A an e-mail, so I apologize for responding to this before responding to her nice note.
There is at least one active home-schooling group in Doha. They have an invitiation-only mailing list, but I don't want to post their address here. Write to me with your real e-mail address and I will put you in touch with the list owner.
I don't know if this is a very popular option. There is a tutoring place here called Cedars and I think some people use this while they are waiting for school places. Tel 468 8192 email [email protected]
Getting school places is a problem in Doha but if you have a British passport, you have a better chance than some because you will be given priority in the British curriculum schools. I'm sure you've probably researched which ones are popular here - any that come under the umbrella of BSME (British Schools of the Middle East) and are not-for-profit are generally sound - They have a website www.bsme.org.uk Obviously the best option would be to come over to Doha on a 'look see' visit so that you can check out the schools yourself. In any event, if you are looking for places to start September 2007, you need to act now as it may take 3 - 6 months to go through the process of applying/entrance tests for secondary children etc
If have children at secondary and primary level I would suggest that you consider the impact of having children at different schools because the traffic in Doha is crazy at certain times of the day and once your kids start after-school activities you will be tearing
your hair out!
Like you, we moved to Doha with a larger than average family so believe me, I know what you're going through! Getting places at our chosen school was the biggest headache but we managed it in the end!
Just to say that in my opinion Doha is a great place to be for families. We have no regrets and my children are very settled here.
