In Year 12, they explore the Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level curriculum, paving the way for the pinnacle of their academic journey in Year 13 with the Advanced (A) Level curriculum, exclusively available at our Doha and Al Khor campuses.

Beyond academics, our commitment to innovation is showcased by our Doha and Wakra campuses, earning the distinction of being the first Google Referenced Schools in Qatar from 2021 to 2023.

Leading with Integrity, Learning with Purpose

This year is all about “Leading with Integrity, Learning with Purpose.” For us, that means focusing on what truly matters: helping your child grow into a kind, principled person and an enthusiastic, determined learner. In our classrooms and across our community, we’re creating an environment where students are excited to dig into their studies, not just for a grade, but to fuel their own unique ambitions. We know that a great education is about more than academics; it’s about building character, resilience, and friendship. So, while we take the work of learning seriously, we also make plenty of space for creativity, collaboration, and pure fun. We can’t wait to journey through this incredible year with you and your family.

My child has become more independent, and I truly appreciate the strong communication between the school and parents. Thanks to the encouragement and support of the EMS teachers, my daughter in Year 3 has significantly improved her reading skills and now reads books daily. What I value most is how the school emphasizes character development alongside academics, ensuring a balanced and meaningful learning experience for every child.
