The founding Principal of AWIS, with vast experience of international education and a long-term resident of Doha

After graduating from Northern College of Education, now part of Aberdeen University, I started my teaching career in Scotland.


In 1997, I accepted a teaching role in a large International School in Qatar. This opened up a world of diversity and differing cultures that I savour to this day. Qatar then became my ‘home-from-home’, and after a short period in Oman I was asked to return to be part of the founding team at AWIS.


At AWIS we offer a distinct experience from other schools in Doha. We believe that a combination of the finest curriculum, an inclusive and supportive environment, an international focus, and the individual development of each and every child is the bedrock for instilling a love of learning that will challenge your child to develop new ways of thinking and encourage them to question their world. We will raise their expectations of their own future and empower them to influence the paths of others.


We have created a learning community where our students are continually motivated by the challenging and diverse learning opportunities provided by our highly experienced teaching and support staff, and where our parents feel they are given sufficient information to support their child in school. We pride ourselves on our open door policy for parents and will always review and act on, when appropriate,

concerns raised.


The school delivers an all-round education for every child, placing the learner at the centre of everything we do.


We look forward to you joining this journey with us.


Kind regards
