Welcome to King's College Doha
With a history spanning over 140 years, King’s College UK has long nurtured young people to excel in confidence, curiosity, and character. At King’s College Doha, we establish this proud British tradition in Qatar, fusing our Outstanding academic rigour with a deep respect for local culture and traditions.
Our prestigious all-through education is delivered across two state-of-the-art campuses in Doha: Al Thumama (Pre-Prep) and Mesaimeer (Prep, Senior, and Sixth Form). Dedicated facilities, specialist teaching from the very first years, and a curriculum that perfectly balances academics, sport, music, and the arts ensure every child is encouraged to thrive.
Operating under the five pillars of The King’s Identity (Confident, Creative, Committed, Caring, and Curious), our students learn to be resilient, collaborate effectively, and achieve more: both in the classroom and through co-curricular pursuits.
For King’s Doha, education extends beyond exam results; it is dedicated to shaping confident, compassionate young people, fully prepared for their role in a global future.
The King’s Family of Schools
King’s College Doha is the sister school to King's College UK, tracing a heritage that stretches back more than 140 years. This proud tradition of academic excellence, outstanding pastoral care, and co-curricular breadth now directly inspires our students here in Doha.

Why King’s College Doha
A student at King’s College Doha is well-rounded, ambitious, and confident: equipped with the knowledge, character, and courage to take on complex challenges and become a leader of the future.

140+ Years of educational excellence
King’s College Doha is the sister school to King's UK, which was founded by Royal Charter in 1873. Students at King’s College Doha benefit from this 140+ years of history, tradition and educational expertise.

All-round British curriculum
King’s College Doha delivers a truly all-round education, based on an enhanced version of the English National Curriculum, inspired by King’s UK. Academic progress is made alongside the development of new skills and interests through sport, music, the arts and an extensive range of activities.

Subject specialist approach
While general class teachers cover all subjects up to Year 6 in most schools, uniquely at King’s College Doha, all subjects are led by specialist teachers from Year 5 onwards, allowing optimum depth of learning. We also feature specialist teaching in core subjects from Pre-Prep (age 3).

Qatar culture and Arabic language
The King’s approach is tailored to fit with our local Doha setting. Arabic language, Islamic Studies and Social Studies are central components of our curriculum. Arabic language, for instance, is offered from Pre-Prep and delivered by subject specialist teachers.

Our pupils have achieved outstanding success at this year’s World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions at Yale University. After qualifying in the Regional Round and excelling in the Global Round, they represented King’s on a truly international stage.
Across all four events — the Scholar’s Challenge, Collaborative Writing, Debate and the Scholar’s Bowl, they showed exceptional teamwork, commitment and resilience.
One of the standout moments was James, Han and Anderson (replacement team member from Dwight School New York) won 4th in thr Junior Team Bowl against more than 300+ teams.
They even returned home proudly carrying their alpacas, a fun reminder of their achievements and the memories they created.
