DESS suposed to have a very good reputation in Qatar. The waiting list is usually full and i seem to remember that recently they "closed" it. Of course the fees are pretty horrendous at DESS and I seem to remember reading somewhere on QL that there are also plenty of extras too.

When trying to find school places for your children, do take into account what has euphemistically been called "the school run". Battling with Doha traffic can add a couple of stressful hours to your child's school day. I am sorry if this all sounds rather negative, but forewarned is forearmed.
