About us

Doha College is a high-profile, leading, not-for-profit British international school for children aged 3–18. Its vision is to enable personal growth, instil a passion for learning, and create aspirational minds whilst offering a well-balanced, all-embracing curriculum that follows the English National Curriculum. It was the first High Performance Learning accredited school in the world and has consistently outstanding educational achievements and excellent examination results at all stages.

We have been established in Qatar for over 40 years under the patronage of the British Embassy. This is an exceptional opportunity to play a part in the continual improvement of a school with an already renowned worldwide reputation for excellence. With 2,500 students and 350 staff, the school is a vibrant international community that subscribes to equal opportunities for all. Recently, we moved to a brand-new, 90,000m² state-of-the-art campus, amalgamating two previous sites and ensuring the College’s place at the forefront of educational provision in world-class facilities.

• Register applicants and current students for baseline testing.
• Support with school assessments, data imports/exports, and audits.
