The subject of school places (or rather the lack of them) is a perennial topic on "Qatar Living". Having said that, SOME parents DO somehow manage to find school places for their children and some schools, like Newton International, are expanding and taking on more teaching staff. New schools open, from time to time, so these may be able to offer places. Of course, forward planning, determination and a good slice of luck may all be required.
The more research you do, the less likely you are to have nasty surprises when you arrive. Of course QL is a great source of first-hand information about Qatar, but you might also like to try www.virtualtourist.com and of course www.lonelyplanet.com as well.
