The school fees are at Park House are NOT QR40,000. Not in primary section at least. Primary section has small classes, maximum of 25 in a class where as Choueifat believes in very big classes where it is not unusual to have 35 in a class of primary students and even bigger classes as the students get older.

If you check on the Park House web site you will find the school fees displayed on the admissions page. I believe that DESS school fees are close to those of Park House. Choueifat fees are much less but then their classes are much bigger.

DESS gives priority to British passport holders but there are many other nationailities there as well. Park House does not give preference to any nationality. There are many nationalities in each class from Qataris, Indians, Lebanese, Egyptians, British, South Africans etc. Such a mix of foreign students gives the school a real international feel about it.

Choueifat and Park House school include arabic lessons in their cirriculum. Park House teaches IPC (International Primary Cirriculum). DESS is a purely British school following the cirriculum from the UK. Choueifat teaches its own cirriculum which is a mix of british/american. Choueifat has lots of exams starting from year 1.

Good luck
