Hello, I am glad I have come across the this board and the discussion surrounding Newton International School. I am new to Doha and have been looking into schools to enrol my son. I have looked at and considered 3 schools. Doha College, Park House School and Newton International School. Since the first 2 schools have long waiting lists I have been enquiring further into the last mentioned school among colleagues and friends in Doha (some of whom have kids at the school on D Ring Rd). I have found it hard to contact the school directly and can never get through to the office number.
I have heard from other families that the school is not finished building wise and that there is limited running water and working toilet facilities. Among other things such as unfinished and unsafe building works.
My colleagues children have not been given any textbooks to use yet and said they are often moved around classes and teachers with no indentifiable class timetable. One of the children commented that some their teachers have already left the school, and we are only into the third or fourth week.
I am wondering if any other parnets have heard of similar events surrounding Newton International or know of any other good schooling options in Doha before i move my son over to be educated here.
