I can only comment on my expereinces. I had 3 kids at ISL in Year 3 , Year 5 and Year 8. We came from the Uk education system, so were not quite prepared for the ISL version of the IB programme. It is quite hip and trendy and works if your kids are self motivated. For our Year 8, he was in a good Grammar School in the Uk , and never had any issues. However he seems to have really struggled with the teaching style at ISL. He is the kind of kid that needs to be guided/pushed all the time. In terms of facilities the school is brilliantly equipped, but no swimming pool. I also didnt like the lack of text books but they seme to rely on the children to take more initiative (Which iM not sure an 8 year old knows how to). They teach all about the world not just the Uk which I did like. They have a mix of many nationalities and seem to be unable to control some of the local kids. The teachers are all well qualified so the level of teaching is good, teh admin staff unfortunately lack in these areas once you accept the place. In terms of location it is very difficult to get to if you live in Doha and the bus is extremely expensive if you have 3 kids. The fees are quite high but I guess they compare themselves to Doha College, but dont in my opinion yet provide the same level of education. Good luck email me if you need more info
