Best small international school in Doha. EYFS curriculum, delivered in English, by UK qualified teachers. Why Choose AWIS At the end of the day, the "right" choice depends upon your own personal priorities, first impressions of the environment and the quality of the staff, and of course word-of-mouth. SCHOOL Why Choose AWIS Ethos, Vision and Mission Community Timings and School Day Uniform Policies A small school with a big heart! Choosing a school is hard! The quantity and quality of information available varies from school to school, making direct comparisons difficult. We believe AWIS is worthy of inclusion on any shortlist of schools to consider in detail. Below are just some of the factors that make us stand out from the crowd: Caring & Supportive Environment The ethos of AWIS is to create an enjoyable, open and collaborative environment where children, their families and staff feel secure, valued, confident and independent. We work closely with our parents to forge a strong home/school relationship through effective communication to ensure the needs of students are consistently met. Visit us to experience the caring, family-friendly environment for yourself! Truly International Education We provide a truly international learning environment, with over 50 nationalities represented across the student body and no one nationality dominating. International mindedness is a specific personal learning goal for all students. Exciting Curriculum First and foremost, we follow a UK-style curriculum. However, we additionally use the International Primary Curriculum (which is also used by over 200 schools in the UK) to ensure a modern, child-centered approach to learning that is integrated across subjects. Great Location We are very convenient for parents living / working in The Pearl, Lusail, West Bay and Qatar University areas. Value for money School fees in Doha vary tremendously - however, be warned that high fees are not necessarily an indicator of high academic standards! At approximately QR31,000 per year (see our school fees page for details), our fees are very modest by both Qatar and UK/international standards. The highest cost for any school is driven by the quality of the staff. Any visit to AWIS will quickly assure you that our teaching staff are world-class, motivated and well-led. See the report on our latest TIMMS results (a worldwide benchmarking study) for an example of AWIS academic achievement. Our classrooms are light and airy, playgrounds are shaded, and we have plenty of greenery and open space for the children to play: a delightful environment for Primary School students (ages 3 to 11 years old) to study, play and develop. Why not contact us to arrange a visit , so you can see for yourself?

Requirements Schools in Qatar are regulated by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, who impose certain rules on all schools regarding student admissions and the data that must be collected and shared with them. ADMISSIONS Requirements Application Process Assessment School Fees Paperwork and other requirements to join AWIS Applying to AWIS At the time of application, all we require is the completed online Expression of Interest Form . This gives us sufficient information to begin the application process. Your child's details and contact information are entered in to our admissions system, and with this we can commence the application process . New to Qatar At the time of application, we try to be as flexible as possible with parents. This is especially true of parents who are still planning their move to Qatar, or have only recently arrived. We do take in to accounts people's special circumstances, and are happy to advise on securing a school place. Feel free to contact us if you have concerns. We are often able to assess and make a firm offer of a school place, even if your child then has to wait for all the required paperwork (see below) before they can start school. Starting At AWIS Prior to your child starting, we require that you complete our Application Form in full and provide us with all the required documents (see below). The Application Form (see download button below) provides us with some important additional information, including details of all parents / guardians, health records, and whether they can appear on social media. Please ensure you sign the completed Application Form and submit it to the School Office, together with all the required supporting documents. Required Documents We are required by the authorities in Qatar to have copies of all the following documents on file, before your child starts: Student's Qatar ID - see note 1 below Student's passport Qatar ID's for both parents Student's birth certificate Student's immunisation record Letter of employment from student's sponsor's workplace Most recent school report - see note 2 below Medical report - Foundation Stage and Year 1 students only Fully completed and signed Application Form Note 1: Valid Qatar ID Required Parents new to Qatar should be aware that it is against Ministry regulations for any school to register a student who does not have a valid Qatar ID. You need to allow time from arriving in the country for the father (normally the father, but could be the wife) to complete residency proceedings before he can begin the process of applying for residency for the rest of the family. This can take a considerable amount of time, during which the children are unable to attend school. If you are moving to Qatar, we recommend you take advice from your employer about timescales, as the length of time taken to complete residency for the whole family varies substantially depending upon circumstances. Note 2: Attestation of School Reports There is a Ministry requirement for students joining us in Year 2 or above, and transferring from outside Qatar (rather than transferring schools within the country), to supply the latest report from their previous school. This has to be attested (ie stamped) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Qatar Embassy in the country you are coming from, then attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar.
