Dear Parents and Families,
A Welcome from the Chair of the Board of Governors
On behalf of the Board of Governors, it is my pleasure to welcome you and your family to the Doha College community.
Let me begin by saying – you’ve made an excellent choice for your child(ren). Over more than 40 years, Doha College has grown into the pre-eminent British curriculum school in Qatar and is now recognised as one of the Top 100 private schools in the world.
While our academic achievements are widely celebrated, Doha College is about much more. Guided by our ethos of “Excellence for all, excellence from all,” we are committed to shaping well-rounded individuals through outstanding formative experiences – developing the attitudes, skills, and confidence they’ll carry for life.
Despite our scale, Doha College remains a close-knit and supportive community.
Pupils, parents, and staff work together with shared purpose – ensuring every child is nurtured and empowered to become the best version of themselves. As Hilary Clinton aptly said, “It takes a village.”
You are joining not just a school, but a thriving community that places pupil development and well-being at its heart. With our state-of-the-art, future-ready campus, we’re excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for your child(ren).Once again, a very warm welcome to Doha College.
Yours sincerely,
EDUARDO VIERIA
