Celebrating the Graduating Class of 2025
Exuberant cheers and gleeful claps cascaded through the ballroom of the Grand Hyatt Doha as our Class of 2025 made their grand entrance. Waves of emotions swept across the hall as families, friends, and teachers watched our pupils stride in confidently, dressed in gowns, tasselled caps, and elegant navy sashes – a heart-warming moment that set the tone for a truly memorable evening.
The graduation ceremony was a momentous celebration, joyfully marking the send-off of our Year 13 pupils into the next chapter of their lives. With families and teachers by their side – many of whom had supported their journeys since their earliest days at Doha College – emotions ran high as our proud graduates were warmly applauded for their remarkable achievements.
The ceremony was beautifully woven together with heartfelt speeches, nostalgic videos, inspiring words from staff and guest speakers, and marvellous musical performances by our talented pupils. The most moving moment was when each graduate was presented with their scroll on stage, by their own form tutor – a gesture that added a deeply personal touch to their send-off.
Graduation is a celebration not only of academic achievement, but of resilience, character, and the friendships that have been built along the way. The Class of 2025 leaves us with outstanding credentials and an unshakeable sense of community. We could not be prouder of the futures they are about to shape.

Adding to the evening’s highlights was the presentation of the Legacy Award to six pupils who had been part of Doha College from FS1 all the way through to Year 13.

Their loyalty and dedication were celebrated with great pride, and their stories resonated strongly with our community.
Earlier in the year, 2 of the Legacy Award recipients reflected on their 15-year journey at Doha College. From their earliest memories in FS1 (aged 3) to their feelings about finally graduating, they told a story that is a powerful testament to the lasting relationships, community, values and growth that define an educational journey at Doha College.
The graduating cohort of 2025 has been remarkable in every sense. They embraced every challenge, led with integrity, and set a high bar for the classes that follow. We look forward to seeing them make their mark on the world, knowing that they will always remain part of the Doha College family.

As the ceremony drew to a close, graduation caps were tossed high into the air in a jubilant flurry – a symbolic gesture marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. The evening concluded with the much-anticipated prom, where Year 12 and Year 13 pupils came together for a glamorous night of glitz, sequins, laughter, and dancing – the perfect way to round off this milestone occasion.
The Class of 2025 step into the world armed with knowledge, skills, and values nurtured by Doha College – a school proudly recognised among the Top 100 Schools in the World by the Spear’s Schools Index 2025 and listed among the Top 15 Schools in the Middle East by Carfax Education’s 2024 Global Private Schools Index.
At Doha College, we continue to take immense pride in our strong Alumni network, global reach, and reputation for creating outstanding futures. The Class of 2025 now join this legacy – ready to embark on their own journeys, with the confidence and resilience instilled by their time at Doha College.
Congratulations, Class of 2025 – the future awaits!
