Welcome from The Head

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to ACS Doha, one of the premier international schools in Qatar. With roots in the American school system, today we are the only school in Qatar to provide full access to the diverse suite of world-renowned International Baccalaureate (IB) education programmes.

At ACS Doha we are focused on preparing our young people for their future. It is a commitment that we take seriously, but which we pursue with joy in recognition of the fact that childhood is precious and to be valued. Our world is changing faster than it has ever changed in the history of humankind, and while such change undoubtedly brings changes it also offers incredible opportunities.

We want our students to be excited and hopeful about the world they will inhabit. We want them to be inspired to be agents of positive change, committed to taking action for a better world. With that vision in mind, we would be delighted to welcome your family and your child here at ACS Doha. 

Dr. Nigel J Winnard 

Interim Head of School

An international school.

A welcoming community. An incredible learning experience.

Our state-of-the-art campus, opened in August 2020, buzzes every day with a multicultural mix of over 900 students from more than 72 countries. With the support of 100 expert staff, our students have access to excellent teaching, modern facilities, and tailored personal support.

The global outlook of our school is reflected in our internationally accredited curriculum, which is underpinned by the international baccalaureate (IB) framework but also integrates elements of the US educational model such as Advance Placement and US High School Diploma. This structure ensures all students work towards internationally recognized educational goals, making it possible to pursue the best possible opportunities in their next step.

“We are proud to provide every pupil with every element they need to succeed. Our support goes beyond the classroom; it is an education that will benefit students for life.”

Appreciating individuals. Learning together.

Our educational approach embraces the fact that every child comes to ACS Doha with his or her own cultural perspective as well as their own hopes, aspirations and passions.

We support this by balancing the pursuit of academic endeavor with a caring environment that promotes each student’s ability and learning style. At a cultural level, differences are accepted, explored and celebrated as part of everyday life, providing the right conditions to nurture lifelong friendships.

The combination of our approach to pastoral care, our individualized academic programs and our broad co-curricular offering ensures that children are happy students at ACS Doha and successful citizens of the world, ready for whatever awaits them in the future.
