Investing in Education, Not Profit
We are proud to be the only not-for-profit British curriculum international school in Qatar, providing outstanding education for pupils aged 3 to 18.
Every fee paid is reinvested directly into enhancing the educational journey — from enriching learning experiences and expanding co-curricular programmes, to developing world-class facilities and nurturing a supportive school environment.
Our fees are approved by the Ministry of Education, reflecting our commitment to fairness, transparency and exceptional value.
At Doha College, you can be confident that your investment is helping shape your child’s future.
Did You Know?
At Doha College, our academic year is thoughtfully structured into three terms — and with each term comes a clearly outlined fee payment schedule. We kindly ask all parents to follow the schedule to help us ensure a seamless experience for all members of our community.
As a not-for-profit institution, every riyal paid in fees is reinvested into enhancing the learning journey of our pupils. With no private owners or shareholders, Doha College is led by a dedicated Board of Governors who volunteer their time and expertise.
Their commitment ensures that all surplus is directed straight back into the continual improvement of our facilities, programmes, and educational offerings.
| Tuition Fees |
| Blurb required |
| Capital Charge |
| The Capital Charge is a non-refundable annual fee that helps maintain and enhance our world-class facilities. It is charged once per academic year and is payable with the first term’s fees. Details of projects supported by this charge are shared in the Board of Governors’ Annual Report and during our Annual Forum. |
| Seat Booking Fee |
| The Seat Booking Fee is a fee applicable to current pupils to confirm attendance in the following academic year. This amount is fully offset against the Autumn term’s fees each academic year. |
| Stationery Deposit |
| This one-off charge covers potential costs for lost or damaged items belonging to the school, including books or musical instruments. It is paid on acceptance of a place and is refunded when a pupil leaves Doha College, subject to the return of all items in good condition. |
Additional Notes
At Doha College, we aim to make our fee structure as transparent and straightforward as possible.
Tuition fees include the essential items pupils need to thrive in the classroom — such as exercise books, stationery recommended by our staff, and standard textbooks used across the curriculum.
There are no hidden costs. However, families should anticipate incidental expenses that may arise due to breakages, loss or damage to school property, as well as optional opportunities such as educational trips, certain co-curricular activities, and materials for practical classes.
External examination fees (Years 10 to 13) are not included in the standard tuition and will be charged separately.
Other Fees and Charges
We are committed to providing transparency about any additional costs that may be incurred and will invoice them separately.
These could include — but are not limited to — expenses related to :
- Selected school trips and visits
- Optional instrumental music tuition
- Shuttle bus service
- iPads (as part of our digital learning programme)
