Indian, Filipino, Bangladeshi & Pakistani schools are missing too. These are the high end schools which most of the expats cannot afford.
It would be best if there would be more american schools in Doha. like 90% of these schools are british. No offence to all brits out there.
Misconstruing perfectly good information for paid advertisement is an unhealthy trend, and cliched too. It's easy to sit behind a screen and discredit genuine information. However, information is always useful for those seeking it :)
Seems like a paid commercial advertisement. The supply and demand curve has taken a shift.
